I had a recent experience of having an interview with this MNC and getting negotiation calls,and I was willing to settle near their offer, just because the office was very nearby and then suddenly I got ghosted.
I was not even actively looking for a job and 6 rounds of conversation and a month later I got ghosted.
Why HR's don't give a black and white answers.
Because they can't say "hiring managers and decision makers realised they need someone else or someone cheaper". Remember, it's never the HR who's making the decision, they're simply the face and in a really unfortunate situation of working with fickle CXOs or hiring managers.
They can phrase it as “Sorry but your expectation is out of our budget” or something on those lines and close the lead. At least the candidate will get closure instead of being mind-fucked.
Honestly, experience with non-Indian HRs is generally better. Indian HRs have screwed the culture into “CTC first, questions later” instead of “budget first, then interview” wasting time of candidates and their own team.
I open any recruiter convo with “what’s your budget?” now that I pack experience. If they don’t disclose that in the first conversation I can’t be bothered spending time interviewing. But I get it, this is gonna be way harder for a fresher or unemployed folk.
I do the exact same thing, I ask for the budget first. They always say "we're open". Then I ask "are you guys good with 16 lpa" and they are quite happy and say "yeah we could work with that"
Then I ask "what about 60 lpa, is that in your budget?" And they generally show their hand 😂
That being said, the problem isn't the decision really, it's that the JD says something, and then the hiring manager realises "shit we need someone else". That's when HRs start ghosting because they are thinking "my company has no fucking clue what it really wants and I can't say that to the candidate".
They’re not decision makers. The hiring manager calls the shots.
Do you think reaching out from your side makes sense, sometimes background verification might also be something which takes a lot of time?
Or they are just exhausting their options first.
I cleared all the interview rounds for a role at GE Healthcare but the HR is ghosting me since 2 weeks after we agreed upon the offer verbally. Every day I keep following up for updates but the response I get is that approval has to be p...
In the past couple of months I have given multiple interviews where the interviewer said that they are good to go for the next round as the interview went well but the recruiter keeps ghosting. I am not sure where I am going wrong?
I am new to the work force, 1.5 YOE. I want to understand the logic behind HR’s ghosting their candidates.
I received an offer from Accenture and accepted it also. After that my recruiter is not reachable via mail or phone. Is this normal in Accenture? Whom can I contact in this situation? I have also put resignation in current organisation. ...
