FB Recruiter Ghosting. Common?

Before holidays, the FB recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I sent over my resume via email as advised. They confirmed that it will be reviewed by hiring team. After holidays, I have emailed 2 times to follow up, with no response. Is it common that they can’t even be bothered to let me know I was not chosen if that is the case? Even just a replied with “no” that would take 5 seconds?

He / she probably have left fb. They are usually very prompt in responding

I got ghosted by Lyft recently a similar way. Positive technical phone screen, follow up email from the recruiter that he needed a week but wanted to continue, no replies to emails since. I’m really happy where I’m at, so no big deal, but it is a bit insulting.

They get a lot of resumes - recruiters unless they are good , won’t keep up . It’s a hard job and needs a lot of people empathy skills. It is not a good experience when ghosted, recruiters should avoid that .
