I see more and more recruiters and companies ghosting candidate. This is a situation where you HAVE spoken to the recruiter, hiring manager or even after an onsite interview but then they never get back at you. No email, nothing. If I applied, never spoken to any of them and never heard back, that’s fine. They probably received hundreds of application. If I get a rejection email, that’s cool. It’s part of the game. But completely ignoring you after speaking to you? That’s just unprofessional. I wish we have a site that track recruiters and companies that does this so I can avoid them. EDIT: maybe we should start an anonymous survey or Google form where people can put the company name, recruiter, etc who ghosted then?
Most FANG engineers will tell that they didn’t study because good engineers don’t need to leetcode and the recruiter’s response reflected that mentality. Next time say that you’re super busy at work and then you’re going on vacation. If they ask where just make up some bullshit it’s not like they can check. Busy at work + fake vacation excuse should get you at least 2-3 weeks of prep time without the recruiter giving you a hard time.
Good Madarchod
I am planning to say that to Google recruiter this week ... hope this work well ;-)
ebay recruitor was the worst - did coding assignment - took 1 month to get back to me after multiple follow ups - then schedule onsite, couldnt even confirm hotel until the night before onsite - asked 3 times for interview prep - got nothing - now 2 weeks after onsite, asked twice for updates, no hear back Should i still follow up? @Ebay
I think wait for a week and followup.. whenever I have such experience I tell hiring manager during the round that I have multiple offers I would appreciate if I get response end of Friday or so..(give 2-3 days) if they don’t reply you know the answer...I had wait 2-3 weeks for PayPal to get response. However, recruiter told me that they were evaluating other candidates... my performance was neutral
Uber ghosted me very unprofessional and the phone interview guy was a complete asshole
They always do
I personally hate it.. however what I have noted in my experience when I don’t hear back after 2-3 days I assume my feedback was not positive. If I nailed the interview I get called/email next day. If they don’t get back after onsite ..that’s not professional at all... I never had that experience
Apple. Multiple recruiters different teams at different times. Ghosted after onsite couple of times.
In!
Apple is the worst
I agree. Here it based on HM feedback. For example, if my boss do not select any candidate he never bother to reply to recruiter and recruiter in turns never reply to candidate. I have seen happening to one my acquaintances
I am glad you guys are aware. I applied on the website and had a great phone conversation only into nothing. I followed up a week later and no response.
Playstation was the worst. No feedback after onsite. Then the recruiter contacts me for another position few weeks later with no updates on the position I interviewed for. Also it's been 2 months and they haven't paid me for my onsite expenses. Recruiter hasn't acknowledged any emails on reimbursement.
I’m down to create one. It’s disgusting. With pictures. So nobody ever work with them.
