Hey SMM - Maybe I'm just paranoid because an employer a few years ago brought up something from my past that they found in a background check. I explained it away as a youthful indiscretion and actually got the job and did very well. I haven't seen anyone list this as a reason for ghosting but I really have to wonder.
Last week I had a few companies get back to me, did two phone screens and assignments for both, received great praise from both companies on my resume, interview, and follow up assignments. Very impressed! kind of replies. One of the positions even communicated that I'd be interviewing with the person whom I'd directly report if I got the position, and I put in my availability on line, and sent an email to the hiring mgr notifying her that I did so. The time we were supposed to have the phone interview was either yesterday or TODAY.
Both of these companies ghosted me this week and it just seems too coincidental that they both showed so much interest up front, then roughly 5 business days after initial contact - crickets. - Any thoughts?
Cheers for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (search on google)? It is a good one of a kind product for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
Many thanks, I've been looking for "search for it jobs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Biyabriel Alarming Pastures - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Great Video Thank you
Recruiters need to get some balls and just say that a position is closed or someone has already been hired instead of letting people just hang.
Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got astronomical results with it.
Say it loud !!
@@magicpurple575 I despise recruiters because they are playing gate keepers to the Job. This lady is making excuses to the bad practices recruiters exhibit. Recruiters are nothing but sales people trying to make a margin/profit of the back of the worker who goes with out benefits. Every hour a candidate works is a billable hour.
If you contact a candidate, just don't ghost. Be upfront and don't be an asshole raising people's hopes. Especially now during covid. If you're a recruiter that does that... go to hell. :-)
Seriously!! Like I know jobs aren’t going to hire everyone but they can at least let it be known that they aren’t hiring anymore or tell the candidate that the spot has been filled so the person can find another job! And it’s really selfish of them to let people come in and do a interview knowing they’re most likely not going to hire them😭 I have anxiety and I literally have to force myself to walk in and act confident just to not hear back! It really bothers me
@@hibye9912 I have an answer to that. Just keep bettering your interview process. It is much like sales where your process has to be tight. Keep interviewing and have great questions. Never leave with out the contact information of the person interviewing (seriously write their name down and email). Always have follow up timeframe to get an answer. Looks up these people on LinkedIn in. Be persistent. Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Fill up your week with prospects. Do mock interviews. Keep working at it. Work on your weaknesses. You will get anxiety because the lak of preparation. Remember you are the product! Do you believe in it?
Ghosting is a real problem in the recruiting world. We recruiters HAVE to hold ourselves to better standards and communicate with candidates. If we're on hold or someone is out of town or the needs of the role are changing, a little transparent communication goes a very long way with candidates, who simply want to be--and deserve to be--in the loop.
Love your perspective, couldn't agree more!
It'd be nice if the average recruiter did that but they don't. I only had two out of several that had the courtesy to let me know I didn't get the job. I didn't get mad at all. I said thank you and wish you the best.
Great two interviews. It was exactly a month ago, should I follow up.
Email please I am waiting
Thank you ! I’m doing a bunch a interviews these days and I’m hating my life from all these ghosting situation, starting to hate all these. It’s just ridiculous how we are treated
Remember - if they want you, they will find you no matter what. So if they go silent, they don’t want you. Best if you moved on quickly and on to the next.
A recruiter called me three times to apply for a job . I passed the first interview and she ask me when I will be available for the second interview and I never received her call. I called her send her two emails she totally ghosted me !
At least have the balls to tell me the truth especially when you’re the one that contacted me first
for me I the night before thee interview I warned the recruter that I will not be able to come and asked to postpone it. I even follower-her up on the morning before the scheduled time and also days later with phone calls, emails and even WhatsApp audios... Result: GHOSTED
Same thing happened to me after the final round 😂
I’ve been ghosted from different jobs in every stage of the interviewing process. I’ve been ghosted before the first interview (interviewer didn’t show up), after an assessment project, after second interview and even after a recruiter told me I got the job... all from different places. 🤪 Fun!
these recruiters must be fired. Once we secure a job we should leave a bad review on all platforms about it
Ghosting is a big problem..especially now during the pandemic. Companies need to respect people who are interviewing with them and their time as well. Having multiple interviews with a company, different departments, different management levels and when they invite you for a final interview and later cancel and just ghost you. That’s really hurtful because you invested so much time in that entire process, the least they can do is provide a proper answer instead of ghosting people like nothing happened.
Have the dignity and self respect to walk away if they leave you twisting in the wind. If they don’t respect you during the interview process, imagine how they will be once you are working for them
This is what dating is like.
Nope. Except with dating, even at the lowest point of our relationship.. I can still interact with her and can try to change the outcome. I can apologize and ask for an apology, I can adjust to what she needs and in turn she needs to know what I need too.
While job searching? Not so much. The job application that I've sent online/by mail to company A get no response.. then nothing that I can do to change the situation. You can't even know what is the exact reason why your job application is rejected despite the motivation and suitability of your qualifications with the job requirements.
Exactly! I prefer dating
This video should be titled, "Zero real reasons of why a recruiter Ghost you, but here's a bunch of excuses!" There's no real reason why they can't treat you like a human being! The recruiting & application system is very broken!!
I'm seriously thinking of creating a website where we can expose recruiters, agencies & HR departments. I think it's time recruiters & this industry get put back in check & get their "keys to the universe" revoked!!
Yes!
Please do it and tell me where to air it out
Did you do it?
Absolutely agree! Can this happen in every area of Company management? Like CEOs that do not know what the hell they are doing and get big bucks to do nothing!
I had an HR rep actually CALL to tell me that I did NOT get the job...blew my mind...and ticked me off because I thought they were calling to give me an offer.
This has happened to me! Not the way to handle it, I agree. I actually got an email asking if I had time to "Talk about next steps" and then they rejected me :(. How are you doing?
@@SelfMadeMillennial Still sending resumes, getting interviews but no offers. Life is a bitch.
I rather they call or e-mail me to let me know I did not get the position. When you apply, and they ghost you or leave you hanging sort of speak, that is very FRUSTRATING.
WOW! I interviewed with HR and the hiring managers, they asked for references and took me on a tour of the office. My interview was 7/10..still have not heard back from anyone..
They should’ve Emailed you !!
Before recruiters were ghosting me but after many experiences when I see any red flag I just withdraw from the recruitment process. I did this twice when they were considering me a strong candidate. I didnt see the need for replying their mails asking me reason for the decision. Hiring manager was furious with the HR team because she knew that it was something related to HR team that changed my decision. HR team called me several times and CC ed the hiring managers in emails they sent ti me. I intentionally didnt reply because I didnt want to help the HR team. I treat everyone as they treat me. I dont care if I ruin their all recruitment process, they deserve it
I love your approach, it's called confidence and self respect. These recruiters are so rude with their approach. Bravo!
Very nice approach
I agree you should never give up your job search until you start the new job, but I have to say, as someone with a LOT of experience doing job searching over my career that a company that doesn't communicate with you is not only one that you don't want to work for, but one that you should warn your friends about. Sugarcoat it and excuse it all day long if it makes you feel better, but a company that doesn't keep you in the loop is NEVER one you really want to work for because there is no excuse for rudeness, and ghosting is the modern-day word for impolitely ignoring someone. It happens in dating and in the job search process (which are arguably similar), so don't waste your time with people who aren't as into you as you are them, and move along. Like in dating, there is always a slim chance that someone could change their mind about you, but how likely is it? In my experience I'd put it at less than 1%, maybe .1%. Job searching is super exhausting, so why waste your limited resources (time)?
Companies that do not get back to you in a timely manner are irresponsible. It shouldn't take eternity to get back to a candidate and let him/her know that the job is theirs.
damien Smith it’s disappointing for sure 😔 do you hold the same standards for when you have interviewed with a company versus when you sent in an application? Do you have the same or different expectations about hearing back? Purely curious to know!
Have the dignity and self respect to walk away if they leave you twisting in the wind. If they don’t respect you during the interview process, imagine how they will be once you are working for them
In my experience, it’s a good indicator of what’s under the hood if you’re not hearing back.
One offer I received after a period of silence led me to suspect decision paralysis - that the team really didn’t know what they’re looking for, or how to solve a problem - I felt confident I could contribute and remedy that, so I accepted. However, after I joined I saw how many issues there really were.
The company was sinking fast due to lawsuits from clients. They’d laid off an entire department recently, and within a month, they wanted to change my role to one that would focus solely on sales. Ultimately I had to walk.
oh wow so the red flag presented itself very early on and was foreshadowing what the internal issues were within the company, how long did you stay?
Yes, I agree this has happened to me too.
I had a really good impression of my interviewer. It went the other way after she ignored my follow-up email. Even though a company doesn't teach their staff to respond to candidates’ emails, as humans this is something that everyone should do in their own way.
I first applied in march, got a call for written test on july 11th. Then interview with 5 directors on july 17th. Since then no word from them it is now september 1st. These people have zero empathy.
That’s just horrible !
Oh no! Did they ever get back to you?
I'm going through interviews right now, however I have to comment the HR manager that's been working with me. She is on top of it! The first department I interviewed for is in decision paralysis, but she is now getting me interviews for another department. She said, worst case scenario, the other department gets it together and you have to pick. But she has been calling me whenever she gets an update and it is the best interaction I've had while job searching of my life. Needless to say, it's a company I would love to work for. Transparency and communication, I love to see it!
I’ve been applying for jobs for 3 years in a row. The only hear back I received was a congratulations email for applying. Fast forward to a year of graduation high school I decided to join the Army. Shouldn’t done that sooner but hey, Worth the risk
Madeline, super awesome tips. I love the personality you add to your videos. Thanks for sharing.
So nice of you to say, thank you Heather!
5:27 ..It worked!! The salary i negotiated and more have been added to me...Amazing!! Buying my car next week!
HECK YES!!!!! What brand of car are you interested in?
Just here 2 years later saying thank you and I'm glad I found your videos! I'm currently in an interview process that's going on 3 months now with 3 rounds of interviews ( the last one being 1 month ago). While the recruiter has been amazing and responsive, I've been following up and it seems they're keeping me on the hook. I got word that there's still no update but that she would keep me informed. On one hand, I think it's a good sign that they care enough to update me but on the other hand, I don't feel so great about being strung along. Your video helped to give some insight into what might be happening. I can only imagine that now, during covid, the reasons for being strung along have multiplied.
True, but a little consideration and professionalism by employers would go a long way to showing real respect for keen candidates such as yourself. Don't let them string you along. Find a better company. We all deserve better than that.

Love your channel! I just started a new job last week and have been wondering why my interviews for other companies never replied to me. Keep up the good work c:!
Excellent thank you!
WOW what a fantastic video, you just made my day. I was in the hiring procedure with this startup since October 2020 and its mid-December and I am done with all the interviews and she is not responding to my emails.
Just sending her an email after your video, lets see what happens!
Wishing you luck!
This is the most agonizing part of the interview process. I'm at a week with one company and 3 days with another....I'm ready to hear back already.
Nothing is more annoying to me than not hearing back after an interview. I think if you take the time to interview, you should at least get an email stating that the position was filled. Then they wonder why if they reach out weeks later, the candidate already found another position.
omg i really enjoy your videos!!! really helpful and very entertaining to watch too! thank you!
Amazing example of email.... "ALMOST OUT THE MARKET EMAIL"... thanks for the info
I am currently in this phase. And a big thanks to you for giving all the positivity : )
Do you get the job?
@@lubnasawan1278 yes 😊 from June I started working.
You are hilariousss LOL. Love it!!!
ghosting is a real thing in the job market. The hipocrisy it's that HR recruiters pretend to be professional and ask as to be professional too but yet they ghost people when we want to follow-up for getting explications on job related things... Really disgusting.
I've gotten to the point where I asked when they will make the decision. They say I can email or call them if I don't hear anything. I do just that. If no answer, I just move on to the next one.
Thanks for these excellent points.
Thank you so much! I’ve given up at this point it’s been 2 months since the interview. I might try your last tactic which is the off market email but I’m not gonna hold my breath on this one. Thanks again! That was awesome and so appropriate around Halloween lol
Totally, that’s unfortunate they never got back to you but onwards and upwards! Haha glad you liked the Halloween theme, I had fun with it :)
@missybitsy14, I recently landed a job that I interviewed for 15 months ago. they actually kept my resume on file (*SHOCKER!*) and were waiting on a restructure (as Madeline indicated) and the $$ to get such AWESOME me! I literally had 2 job offers land on my doorstep within 24 hours of each other for jobs that were IMO moldy oldies and *PASS*. Luckily I was able to land the one that I wanted by utilizing some of Madeline's tips. *Thanks Madeline!* Hang in there and find a temp job in the interim. Those can be career changers. @self made millennial
Experiencing this right now. The manager mentioned lots of positive things during interview and said he would give me decision on Monday. Now it's Wednesday and nothing happened.
What happened?
It makes a lot of sense when the tables turned, when i was recruiting for roles.
From screening all the resumes, shortlisting those that fits the requirements, rounding the list out to my boss, and waiting for the candidates that we wanted to interview. It's always get jammed up at the decision maker. All the more when the decision maker couldn't make up his mind. In the end, he hired a former intern. So much effort has gone into the hiring process. Sometimes, there wasn't much time to reply to follow-up emails. As HR work was just a small part of my work.
It sucks to be on the job seeker end of the table.
I just did my interview on Friday, July 23rd…before I walked out, the interviewer says “we will talk to you soon”…but the lady that was supposed to be interviewing me wasn’t there…and I asked them questions as well
I passed the third and last interview, they were happy and they told me that for sure I was going to hear from them, its been 2 weeks and still nothing, I have sent them an email and they havent respond yet 🙄 I understand that it takes time fot them to decide but I am not sure if I am interested anymore....
a friend referred me to a position at the company she works for as a recruiter. I made it through the entire interview process and was told I would hear something back within 48 hours. It's been 3 days and still nothing. my friend said that's strange because they normally get back to people by this time. I automatically assume I didn't get the job and they're just delaying telling me. but I'm trying my best to stay confident.
Follow up!
I was offered a job at Dillard's and went in person a week later about the email I was supposed to get to do a background check. Turns out the lady who does it was on vacation. The assistant manager finished the rest of the paperwork and sent me an email. Got the job.
That's great! Good thing you followed up to understand what was going on.
Hi Madeline,
I regularly watch your videos which is very helpful. I have one question for you.
I have recently gone through one interview after completing my interview, I got mail from HR about thank you mail for attending interview and says that " As I mentioned, we want to discuss with the team prior to moving forward in the recruiting process. Our Operations Director is currently on holidays, returning next week. We will be in touch early next week to give you an update, after the long weekend!" this statement. Does it look like positive sign? I need your comments about this. Thank you
Thanks, I have been losing my mind, this gave me a lot of perspective and while I'm only on the 2nd and 3rd round at two other places, I'm going to send that email to follow up in a few days. My last interview was friday and it's only tuesday, so i haven't been 'ghosted' yet, i'm just being impatient lol, BUT IT'S STILL TORTURE!!!!
I'm in the same boat, but today was a public holiday so I'm being patient. How did it work out for you in the end?
Hi, thank you for the video.
I got an answer from the employer last week that they changed the position from maternity leave cover to permanent. And they will let me know once they they finish the interviews.
What do you think?
Can I send this as the second follow up ?
wow I've just noticed I sent that email to the company im currently woking with. so I can say it works 😅
This sort of behavior really makes good employers look amazing. I recently got a rejection letter within one week. They basically said "You interviewed well, we offered another great candidate a job, and we may have new opportunities you could apply for soon." Their quick process and good communication have me checking the job board for those possible openings. If they treat me well after they have talked to for 30 minutes, then they are much more likely to treat me well when they see me 5 days a week.
Interviewed Tuesday, was told I would hear back by Friday, Sent follow up thank you note next day. It's Fridday 4:14 and no word. Not sure what to do. TO think I will have all week end only to find out monday I am not getting hired. Have to leave for work in `5 minutes.
Racing sloths... Lol! Great analogy
Hi, I was first interviewed on 17th March and I forgot to ask the date I should expect to hear from them. After a week, I sent a follow-up email and received a mail to meet Senior Managers on April 6th. I was interviewed with CEO and Vice President Sales and also asked for the timeline. This time she said I will get the decision on April 9th; however, I am still awaiting it.FYI, they sent me the PIBA assessment post-interview and called my one reference the same day of the interview; however, my second reference got a call from HR but didn't pick. My second reference has called back twice but HR didn't pick up and he sent a good voice mail. My first reference gave positive feedback though.
What should I do in this case?
. Should I except a reply from my thank you email sent the day of the interview?
I had an online video interview that I had to record myself this was uncomfortable for me. I haven’t heard from them I did the interview on dec 29 and still waiting it’s true they are irresponsible specially when you are trying your best and really want an opportunity. It’s disappointing I’m literally anxious and my status still says interviewing.
She brings recruiters back from the dead, she’s the self-made millennial!
I don't know how to say thanks to you. I had interview recently and prepared about the interview from your TH-cam channel. I passed the interview and they offered the role today. They said they are interviewing other candidates and will get back to me next week. However, they called today and offered me the role. I am so happy at this moment. You are true career leader. I can't explain how much I have learnt from your advice and information. Thank your so much.
Hi i just have my 2nd interview, but more to technical question, there is some code that i forget during the interview. But at the end of the interview. One of the interviewer said to me "would u be comfortable to do like an exercice , like coding exercise in which I want to see your coding & development skills"
Before that at the end of interview I ask the HR when can i have the interview reukt or for the next step, the HR said that they are still interviewing other candidates. Is there a chance for me?
Okay final interview done. What now? I've just had my final round interview and it seemed to go pretty well. But I don't know what else I should be doing....Can you do a video on the post interview things you should be doing?
I have an offer for a job that I don't want that much, but would take. The one I really want didn't answer in the time they said they would. I can not continue waiting, or I'll loose the other job offer. This makes me so sad. The one I really want even took 3 hours of their time to show me the entire company location with development and production and it was so fascinating... :(
I was told yesterday that my recruiter is out of office but yet when I emailed her I never got an out of office. Also, why would there not be a backup? Curious if you have any thoughts?
I had an interview where it went very well in my opinion. The recruiter said you will hear back today regardless if we hire you or not as they have one more interview later in the day. Never heard back and they did not reply to my follow up email :/
I’m sorry 😐
Self Made Millennial thanks for the reply! To my surprise they called the today and offered me the position! Your interview tips really helped 😄
I am currently hitting everyone of these - two companies I have applied to I was 1) the first candidate to get all through the rounds in both places 2) a half term came up slowing the other candidates 3) one of the companies had a person leave at the same level .. both internal recruiters are responsive though lol
I'm really taking advantage of your videos, and what you offer is precious to me, but there's a note in the background music that sounds very annoying, especially the kind of noisy music in this video. Thank you so much
Thanks for the feedback, I agree! None of my newer videos have the music fortunately
On almost off market email. What do you put in subject line ?
I remember you posted a video and included a very polite email that a woman who was denied a job offer sent back to the recruiter. In this email she said how much she loves the company and such and then like 6 months later the people remembered her email and gave her a job offer. I am at a library so I don't have the volume on (lol) but I was just wondering if this was the video or if you know what video that little piece was in...thanks!
Mikayla Wolvin ah yes you’re thinking of this video: th-cam.com/video/b9ptpogTqLA/w-d-xo.html
Millennials are complacent. I walked right into the mill, found the super and told him "I'm a Union man!". Retired after 21 years.
90% of modern recruiters/hiring managers are lazy or incompetent. It takes a couple of seconds to send out an email thanking candidates for their time and wishing them luck. At this point in time candidates can give feed back on review forums like Google reviews, Indeed.. even Yelp. Be respectful yet honest and don't name individuals but let the world know that this company ghosted you and give them a negative review. It's funny a couple of years ago I read a negative review about a company ghosting a candidate but decided to interview with them anyway. Low and behold they did the same thing to me. I left them a negative review detailing my experience and YEARS later the CEO of the company replied to my post apologizing and asking if I would like to do another interview. I had already moved on but that is an example of holding companies accountable for bad behavior.
I've called the office I interviewed at to talk to the comptroller that interviewed me. He was suppose to call me when he decided. All I wanted to know was if the position was filled cause i hadnt heard anything. His secretary answers and tells me right away the position was filled. I know he was there in that office cause he said he was gonna be there all day. The way she talk to me sounded so script like. She talked quickly and she made it sound like they had already pick the week before.
I applied online. Both the website and a family friend employed at this company said that it took several weeks for someone to get back to them.
I haven't been contacted. Ive sent an email to follow up.
Any thoughts?
Can you make a video You got the job but Why does the offer letter takes so long?
What if they say you got the job offer, but when you negotiate, they don't send the offer and go silent??
@Self Made Millennial Hey Madeline, when is an appropriate time to connect with the recruiter who interviewed you on LinkedIn? Or is that even appropriate at all?
It’s always appropriate!
do companies reject you the day after on last stage or?
How about when they re-post the job opening ?
I just assume they are really busy. I don’t feel that slighted. But I DO follow up.
What should the subject line be for this type of email?!?
Mikayla Wolvin I write “Update”
I had an interview and interviewer was very engaging and saying "I am getting right answers" "yeah thats what we do". All these are positive signs? I spoke to HR bit they soad inyerviews a re still going on and my feedback is pending. What does it mean?
This video made me feel a lot better but honestly if they don’t hire me than I’m just going to start giving out tarot readings online or in school. I’m not going back to the job search it’s been too long and too much I’m not going back until I’m out of college at least
No hate
I was told during the interview that they're going to him some department changes. And the HR still promised to get back to me after a few days, which she did not and now its the second week of waiting😢. I even sent follow up email
1 % gdp for 10 years. Multiple jobs stacked into 1. I knew years ago that if the economy got better, people will just start leaving. And they are now.
What do you mean? Tell me more.
Hi Madeline! I interviewed for a tech company two weeks ago and it went well. They even told me that they wanted to speak to me more and have me speak to the team. I waited a couple days and asked the recruiter what are next steps. They said they’ll talk to the team and let me know. It’s been a week and a half now and haven’t heard back. Should I follow up again or is that annoying? It’s a popular company and I’m sure it’s competitive. But I let the recruiter know in our first phone interview that I had another offer and need to expedite the process. Did they forget?
How was it? I think i am in your position now. I pass the final interview and then woosh no news at all. From their websites they have plenty of new job openings i guess they are busy and forget for the position i want to work with.
@@adinda21 they responded once I followed up again. I feel like they forgot about the other company I applied for. I ended up not getting the job. I wish you good luck though!
@@aarondesireThey lied to you as a lot of companies unfortunately do. It’s not right.
Decision Paralysis won't do it for me......i need an answer
I had an interview recently ( Third round ) and i specifically asked them “How soon i can hear back from you?” And she said i will call you early next week even if the answer is No.
i sent thank you email and she again assured me she will update me soon. A week’s passed and she has not got back to my voicemail or email.like why??!?
That’s rough 😔
Mine is doing the same thing. Keep me updated but lied to me saying I was going to be shipped in September and saying "get ready to choose your job🤠" on top of that, messed up my paper work when I was due for physical. 40 minutes into the drive for the physical he calls and tells me to inform the bus driver to drop me off in the next city we reach. Had to wait a whole week again for the trip😊thanks recruiter your awesome 😥at letting me down I thought we were cool
Great video, we need a video about how to answer "tell me about yourself" in the job interview. What do really hiring managers want to hear?
Love the topic, I'll put it on the list!
Sara, I wanted to tell you I made this video now! th-cam.com/video/lLU9l_VaRbQ/w-d-xo.html
I have.
Or they call you to set up an interview and then when you call back someone else claims they are on the phone and never calls you back. Seriously, why didn't you just schedule the interview and I would have just called if it wasn't going to work. But, I would have tried my best to be there.
How long is too long for the interview process? It's been about two weeks since my third interview. I followed up with them a few days ago, only for them to respond that I'm still being considered, but that they are still interviewing candidates. They also reposted the job posting recently as well. Should I assume that I wasn't their ideal candidate?
This is normal, and great to hear that they responded back saying you are still being considered., take that as a win! Check back every week and do not give up until they respond with next steps or say that they are going with someone else.
@@SelfMadeMillennial What about 2 months... The company apologised in one of my follow up email stating that they got caught up with work and will get back to me at the end of the month. Yet, I just sent another follow up today.
Keith Elisio that’s unfortunate that the process is taking so long I’m sorry ☹️ you’re doing the right thing following up.
@@SelfMadeMillennial How can you consider a 'holding' email a 'win'? The company is still interviewing other candidates and reposting the job, so all they're doing is keeping you hanging as an afterthought or a backstop, just in case they can't get someone they really want. This is extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate of them full stop and all candidates deserve better.
@@pferber4725 I don't think it's unprofessional at all. They have every right to interview other candidates and carefully weigh their options.
It’s been two weeks, I’m finding out tomorrow if I get the job....
This sounds like some kind of... hysterical, toxic situation :) I prefer ghosting honestly and don't really care why it happened. 5 working days or until the next Friday is my waiting time, and then I forget about the role. When companies want to hire, they don't waste time. If there are too many interviews and then in the end they stop responding, there is something going on with the company and the hiring process, and they are not in a hurry to fill the role, so it's really not that big a deal.
Repected Mam,
Recently, I have given one interview at company after finishing interview I got mail from Hr that "we will give you update next week once director come from holiday"
In next week I got updated email from Hr saying that " We are review a few other candidates for the position and hope to present an offer early next week. You are one of our top candidates so we will be in touch soon."
Does it indicate good sign?
Thanks,
Jay
Decent sign. Did you get that job?
@I Ask Albert yes I got same job
I’ve had 5 interviews, 5 hours of interviews and my recruiter never followed up with me after my final interview.
Months ago a recruiter set me up for a phone interview. I sat in front of my PC waiting and e-mailed the recruiter. The recruiter told me to wait, that he's trying to get me an interview. Ultimately, the company ghosted me for the interview process, and I think he was trying to find someone else to interview me on the spot - not even get them to call me.
After nearly a year of these recruiters (of a certain overseas nationality) I literally told them off, screamed at them to stop calling me because they never found me a single job - good, bad, temp or otherwise. Not only did they stop calling, but NO ONE (of a certain overseas nationality) called me. Some of these people call for "equality" sake but only give the job to their own kind. I know that for a fact.
Just a simple email or call, saying that if you’re hired or not.
I'm currently waiting to hear back from a secondary interview. I already received a job offer with a possible higher position. When do I get to the point of just moving on. I'm interested in the position and not hurting for work but I'm starting to feel a little disrespected.
How many times have you followed up?
@@SelfMadeMillennial 3 times. I'm waiting until the new year to follow up a final time. Just came back from an interview today, for practice mostly at an affiliated business. One chain owns the other
I’ve been waiting for a week now. The anxiety is killing me
They said I will get a response in a week. Today marks a week
Nana Love I didn’t get the job😿 I’m depressed as hell
I'm willing to believe that 95% percent of you job applicants here are absolutely qualified for the job you applied for. The fact that you are actually watching this video is you questioning yourself and questioning the process and it's procedures automatically makes you a smart person. You know yourself better than anyone, and what your true potential is. Any time an employer goes "on the dumb" is usually a sign that the employer is numb to the process, partly due to internal politics, or one senior person is just holding up the whole process. My experience is there are two kinds of employers: the big corporations that have been in business for years, and have enough network of people, and the small companies, some startups, with young recruiters inexperienced with the hiring process.
U r so lovely! I wish u r my friend
How long should you wait to send a follow up email? Or call back? A recruiter was supposed to call me 8 days ago and I still haven’t heard from her.
If the timeline has lapsed by 8 business days, go ahead and send that follow up email! This also shows them your enthusiasm and interest in the position. Good luck!
1 week is enough.
Definitely more than 4 reasons, you just listed like 100 reasons
Unfortunately, not that simple. It’s really easy for recruiters and hiring managers to provide feedback saying “don’t come off as desperate” after they tell you you’ll hear back on a certain day, you reach out on that day and boom. That’s very easy for them to say, they are the ones with an income and aren’t the candidate.
being ghosted by the HR recruiter
seems like a norm?
despite sending follow-up emails or even WhatsApp messages
I send a Thank you letter & never got response back.
In this day and age- if the Thank you letter isn't aimed at a small company you might be wasting your time. I don't send them anymore.
How did the job interview go?
I still never got response back guess I didn’t get the job
CeeCee Brown hate when that happens smh. I believe everything happens for a reason so if you don’t get it that just means something better is in store for you
Yes you are absolutely right thanks for word of encouragement
I sent thank you cards in the mail and got no response
If a recruiter ghosts you, just move on and start interviewing elsewhere.
Very unprofessional to ghost someone who has interviewed when they say they will move you forward/don;t say what they mean. No excuses. Plain rude and unprofessional
