Have you ever been ghosted by a recruiter after a promising interview process? It can be frustrating, disheartening, and downright confusing. You put in your time and effort, only to be left hanging without any closure or feedback. But fear not, there are practical solutions to this common problem that can help you navigate through this tricky situation.
Understanding the Frustration
It’s understandable to feel frustrated when a recruiter ghosts you after multiple rounds of interviews. You invested your energy, hopes, and time into the process, only to be met with silence. It can be disheartening and leave you wondering what went wrong or if it was all a waste of time.
Dealing with Ghosting
- Take a deep breath and remind yourself that it’s not a reflection of your worth or abilities.
- Reach out to the recruiter via email or phone call to inquire about the status of your application.
- Consider reaching out to someone else at the company, such as the hiring manager or another recruiter, to get updates.
- Give them a deadline to respond, and if they don’t, move on and focus your energy on other opportunities.
Coping with the Situation
It’s normal to feel upset or confused after being ghosted by a recruiter. Remember that it’s not personal, and it’s more about their lack of professionalism than your qualifications. Take this as a learning experience and use it to strengthen your resilience and determination in your job search.
Turning the Tables
Use this experience as motivation to improve your job search strategies and network more effectively. Reach out to other companies, attend networking events, update your resume and LinkedIn profile, and stay positive and proactive in your search for the right opportunity.
Final Thoughts
Remember that being ghosted by a recruiter is a common occurrence in the job search process. Don’t let it discourage you or shake your confidence. Stay focused on your goals, learn from the experience, and keep moving forward with determination and resilience. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, so keep pushing forward and staying positive!
Damn, are they really that scared that they’d do something like this in public LOL
Interesting. Also you’re right about the last comment.
Seems way too far over the top. If this is true, that’s fucking absurd.
Then everyone in the grocery store clapped.
This is funny af, even if it’s fake
I would chase her and yell SHAME I SEE YOU !!!!
Wtf? Are you serious? LoL
She couldn’t be an adult about it and just say sorry we didn’t get back with you.
You should followed the recruiter, “hey, wait a minute…….”
Laughing my ass off at this story, it’s gotta be fake but hilarious!
Paul Bunyan tall tales.
This is one recruiter that you out on Glass door. Wow, the arrogance of this woman.
Do you video chat with recruiters?
Treat people nicely, and you won’t have to run away in grocery stores.
Super super common. recruiters suck

Sounds like something straight from the show Silicon Valley.
OP. Stop smoking weed and go back to drinking goat milk
… and then everyone in the grocery store looked at you and began clapping.
And her name was Albert Einstein
Doesn’t a recruiter make money off you? Why would they do this
I think I know why you weren’t hired
The shopping cart is symbolic
Haha, seriously, are you a known criminal? Seems quite ridiculous that a grown up person starts to run away once they see a candidate. It used to be the other way around. This is reaching below the bottom.
FWIW, if you go past 3 rounds of interviews, you unfortunately did not get the job. Â They have serious doubts at that point and you will not be hired.Â
I think stalking recruiters is a brilliant strategy. You should not let up on.
😂😂Damn. She actually run away?
How hilarious! Got any more didn’t-happen stories for us?
I want to believe
Real psychopath behavior, OP. You, not the recruiter.
Have had similar, 3 rounds of interviews at a company I really wanted to work at (specialized in digitally restoring historical documents and photos for archives), pay was good, seemed like a decent work environment from people I chatted up whoworked there, good benefits, was told on the 3rd round of interviews I was a great fit, and should be hearing back with a job offer in a day or two.
Day or two passed, then a week, I started calling jist to asl about the status, and the hiring manager was always unavailable, in the bathroom, out for the day.
Finally saw him in a supermarket, came up behind him and said “hi, we interviewed over two weeks ago, what happened?” He jumped, and the. Sheepishly told me they decided I wasn’t a good fit.
What a weird coincidence that you’d run into the recruiter who ghosted you at a grocery store!
In fact, it sounds coincidental that I’m questioning how true this story is. I get that it’s a small world and all, but this story sounds too unbelievable. For starters, I’m surprised she recognized your face, given all the candidates she has to talk to.
Well, besides the time you spent going to all those interviews, I think this was a blessing in disguise. I wouldn’t want to work for a company that would treat people like that. You deserved a response, Especially after 4 interviews. lol at the lady running. Thank you, NEXT!
Wow … i have never even had a recruiter that lived in the same town as me let alone bumped into them in a grocery store, thats a small world and i live in the UK.
Because she knows she fucked up. I am glad she had her tail between her legs. Hr and recrutiers really suck.
I didn’t think recruiters actually new how you looked like but were a middle man to the company. Or even if they did, they wouldn’t remember you
This is fake.
Shoulda chased her, yelling about her car’s extended warranty.
Some people have a serious fear of telling people bad news…she should NOT be in the recruiting field.
HELP WHAT
Today in things that didn’t happen.
This was certainly an entertaining creative writing session op had, now onto things that actually happened.
You went to the office after getting ghosted? That’s stalker behavior.
