I have been actively interviewing from june this year. I received rejections from 8 companies. All the interviews I attended, I received rejection within the time frame of 2-3 weeks, Salesforce was the first company I started interviewing in June 1st week. Initial manager screening was in june 1st week. Then I had online assessment in june 3rd week. I did not receive any updates for 2 months. I followed up with the recruiter 4-5 times and still no response, I thought it is a rejection and moved on. Suddenly in August 2nd week recruiter responds back saying "Hiring manager is on P.T.O so, will let you know when H.M is back". In August 3rd week I get an e-mail from the recruiting coordinator saying team wants to do onsite in next 2 weeks. I sent my availability in September 1st week, and done with my onsite by end of September 1st week. Same B.S again no response whatsoever, sent mails to the recruiter and the recruiter was ghosting me. Meanwhile I got rejected for 2 companies onsites and received feedback within 2 weeks. If I didn't get rejections, I was atleast communicated by the recruiters why is it getting late for me to get the response.

But, the so called privileged SALESFORCE recruiter thinks they don't f**k about the candidate's time, not atleast communicating about the feedback.

After ghosting for almost 3 weeks, I followed up thrice via emails, recruiter drafts an email saying they are not moving forward with me. I have spent my valuable time on the online assessment, preparing L.C, system design. While the H.M was on vacation and recruiter was ghsoting.

You can interview me for 6 months but, keep me posted. You can reject me right away but, don't ghost me when I ask for an update or feedback.


Y.O.E : 5 years : which all companies think not enough to get the job done.

T.C : 100K : heavily underpaid.

    Happened with me for Salesforce as well. Recruiter just ghosts away. Don't worry, this LC and System design prep won't go waste. Keep trying. You'll go at a good place.

  • I've also had an awful experience. Took 3 weeks after initial recruiter contact to set up the first interview with the recruiter. Then another week for interview with engineer who later tells me I haven't done hackerrank that the recruiter never sent me. Clowns

    I've had a similar experience recently. Recruiter decides to ghost me for weeks and then contacts me as if we talked yesterday. Does it again after completing the OA.

    At this point it's obvious that she's only coming back to me when other candidates were probably declined and the position still needs to be filled, so I'm treating the opportunity as secondary in my search now.

      Yeah same case as mine. I think some other candidate declined the position so, they were interviewing me.

      It was a recruiter for Tableau. Later learned that their HR is mostly run independently until they're fully merged into Salesforce main.
