I was reached out to by a recruiter, I had a phone interview with the recruiter, then a phone interview with a manager, then a 2 hour in-person interview. Nearly three weeks after my interview, and after 2 follow-up emails, I had heard nothing from the recruiter. Not even a response email acknowledging my email. The recruiter was trying to ghost me. Unprofessional! I emailed again, and I receive an immediate response saying they went in another direction. I told her I recommend keeping open communication with applicants and to timely update them when they request updates up their status, because it leaves an impression on the applicant and it's not courteous nor professional to leave candidates wondering. The recruiter then responded saying she wasn't even 100% sure if they snagged their chosen candidate, and that the position may actually still be open. Nah, I'm good. Do your jobs and communicate professionally. There's a lot of negative reviews on here describing recruiters' behavior. I would recommend the company take a second look at their training and who they hire as recruiters. They're often the first face of the company... Not to mention the manager told me in person that the company doesn't do any sort of extra-curricular team building or corporate responsibility volunteering/activities.. not a great way to attempt to sell the job to someone..
