tl;dr a headhunter contracted by a company set up a phone interview, 4 hour in person interview, then a final phone interview for me. I completed everything well and the recruiter said he would follow up with me shortly regarding next steps, this was last Monday.
I have sent him three separate messages since then asking for an update (text, voicemail, and email) and he has been radio silent. I found the employer I interviewed with on LinkedIn. I feel like just asking him directly if they are still considering me, waiting on other candidates, or have passed on me. I just want to know at this point because I am interviewing for other places and getting feedback, but this one company is my top pick so far. It's just a very frustrating experience. I understand not hearing back after the initial stages, but after three interviews? That's just disrespectful. It doesn't bode well for the company's image. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's pretty normal for recruiters to ghost you. I consider them fairly worthless and will only talk to them if I don't have anything lined ip.

I already have other interviews set up, I am hearing back from other places all the time. Not following up with a candidate after putting them through three rounds of interviews is straight up egregious, a recruiter's job is literally 95% communication, it would take five seconds for them to reply back, they should be extending at least a modicum of common courtesy. ...

I've been fortunate enough to have never dealt with agencies/recruiters, but I'm genuinely pretty shocked that they'd completely ghost people after an interview - it certainly seems very unprofessional given the time the candidate will have put in up to that point.

He finally reached back to me and they passed on me
Well that fucking sucks but at least I know now I'm really pissed that the reason they gave for passing on me was discussed on the second interview but they went ahead and did a third interview anyway. It's because I never managed engineers before so they do want to make me a senior/lead over other engineers despite having the experience. Fucking catch 22 bullshit. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, it's shitty, but try to understand how many people they interview with, and how many people are calling, following up, sending emails. And then if/when they deny that person, they have to explain why, sometimes get an argument, and it can wind up taking 15-20 minutes out of their day focused on telling one person why they didn't get the job.
I've always considered the "don't call us, we'll call you" approach, if they want to hire me, they'll call. If I follow up and get no reply back, I take a hint and move on. It sucks getting hung up on it, and not knowing, but sometimes these recruiters have too much on their plate to follow up with every rejected interviewee. I'm not saying that's right, but it's my prediction on why this happens a lot. I also don't agree with the tactic. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain. Vicious_Dios Original - https://i.imgtc.ws/Zl0aw6F.png ...

The rest was a bunch of paper work a tour of thr facility then a hour drive to get a drug test a physical and TB test. So more so a 7 hour process just for the interview. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!" Bartz-"with cheese biscuts AND mashed potatoes!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

I had a guy who treated me very well up until recently when he ghosted me.
I even let him know how much I hated working with recruiters for that exact reason and he was very understanding then he pulls the same shit. Luckily I only wanted to get in touch to say I found a job and I wanted him to just keep an ear to the ground for better ops.
