Gave my loop 3 weeks ago and recruiter reached out to me saying itās a positive feedback. However, I was told that the position is closed. Recruiter mentioned that my profile is kept in an internal system where other managers can view. However, I reached out to a HM who is hiring and they mentioned that they cannot see my profile in the internal system. Does this mean recruiter might have just kept my profile aside? Did this happen to anyone else? Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Can any team/org that is hiring check my profile? Location: Seattle
Avoid I would say. Keep looking for other opportunities.
MSFT you need to know people who can hire you
how do u find them
I had same experience, I got reject email for a role I applied for but then they scheduled a tech screen & ghosted eventually, better avoid
The āpositive feedbackā and ākept your profileā lines are there just to make you feel better. That a conclusion from my personal experience with MS recruiters actually knowing the HMs.
They could instead say rejected, right? Whatās the purpose of this? Why would they want to make me feel better? I had a similar experience in the past but been reading a few posts onlineā¦where it took 4-6 weeks for a few folks to get an offer. Not sure whatās true.
There's a middle option of "Good candidate, but not for this position" And that exists in the feedback tool, so it's a real thing.
Mind sharing your interview experience? Im interviewing with them in a couple of weeks
I interviewed 3 times before I was hired and each was different. Really depends on the team.
As a hiring manager, I can tell you: recruiters have to push candidates to me so I can see them. So if you apply to a position, it is their whim whether the HM sees your profile or not. Iāve had to on occasion ask about specific people that were getting referred, and the recruiter would then make them appear on my end.
That makes sense. I did reach out to a HM on LinkedIn and they mentioned they couldnāt see my profile in internal system. Could you please tell me what could be my next steps here? How do I make sure that my profile is pushed to HMs? Could you please help me here.
Tell the HM to ask his or her recruiter to check on their side of the house. Say you heard sometimes applications can get stuck
Depends on org. There are different hiring preferences and practices depending on org. Results are not usually transferable between them. And your 3 week wait means your feedback was good, but someone elseās was better and they accepted the position. 1 week to generate offer + 2 weeks to decide aligns right.
So, does waiting even make sense in that case? If someone else joins for the position that I interviewed forā¦can they still find a different role within that org? Or is it not worth my time following up with recruiter regarding it?
They could, but they wonāt. Recruiters here donāt go much further than their job requires unfortunately, and that doesnāt include finding you another role. The system may automatically put your profile in front of another manager, or another recruiter may pick it up. It is just luck of the draw though.
Recruiter wanted you to feel good.
I mean what do they get out of it? They asked me to wait until my resume is picked by other HMs.
This match never happens so just give up and move on
