What's demoralizing is employers aren't motivated to fill the listed open positions and the only thing real and worth our time is our present, paying job. It's understandable, it costs nothing to list an opening and costs a lot to hire someone.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThere is that too. So much disrespect in the interview process vs. 2 years ago. It'd be unheard of for me to not at least get a polite "we were looking for X/Y/Z" if I got in contact with a human at some point in the process. Now it's a fortnightly occurance that some recruiter reaches out to me, talks for 15 minutes, and then is never heard from again. Sometimes they schedule a call and proceed to never make the call (and ofc never respond on LinkedIn to re-schedule). It just all sucks. The process was already pretty bad IMO, but now you're being treated as random quota fodder, with no interest to even pretend the position exists.
- Hnrobert42 2y agoWhen recruiters have ghosted me after an interview and then a follow up email from me, I have scolded them with something like, "Hey. I haven't heard from you in a few weeks. I am sure that you are busy, but so am I. I took the time to interview for your position. It is unprofessional and rude not to respond to my follow up." They almost always respond with an apology, and then I'm sure black list me. I don't much care. I'd rather work with competent caring people. And maybe my scolding will help the next recruit.
