Recruiter Oleksandr Honcharuk told how candidates disappeared after responding to a vacancy and never got in touch again. Aitivka residents are discussing this behavior of searchers. Some consider it «revenge» on recruiters for not providing feedback on the results of interviews.
«Candidate: «I’m very interested in your vacancy!» Two hours later: deleted the message, disappeared, never went online again. And you’re sitting like this:
«Maybe I said something wrong?»
«Maybe he moved to the mountains without any communication?»
«Or maybe recruiting is just a simulator of broken hopes?» he wrote on LinkedIn.
The people of Aitutaki are lively discussing this case.
«Your vacancy is perfect, but he decided to continue negotiations with another company,» Python Tech Lead Viktor Brilov ironically says.
«Apparently, candidates have gotten this kind of thing from recruiters. In the last two months, I have had three job offers that began with ‘you really interested us, really, really, let’s talk,’ after which the recruiters were abducted by a UFO (I’m really worried about them). And another recruiter who disappeared after an interview that ended with the words ‘you’re really cool, I’m ready to move on with you’ (but the conversation with him was nice). Of course, fortunately, there are more good examples of recruiters in my experience, but still, as they say, some leave a residue,» writes lawyer Vladyslav Kovtunenko .
«I think it’s just karma,» wrote SMM specialist Viktoria Lyalchenko .
Elizaveta Tanchuk, Software QA engineer, notes: «And recruiters remind me of videos about men on dating sites: they swipe everyone in a row, and only then selectively write.»
Android & KMP software engineer Oleksiy S. notes: «Well, recruiters usually don’t respond at all. And you sit there like, ‘Well, my skills match the vacancy. Why are they ignoring me? And if they don’t ignore me, then they don’t call me for an interview?’ Therefore, in my opinion, it’s a completely normal reaction of the candidate. He’s not interested in you anymore, that’s all.»
«A lot could happen in two hours. A person received a better offer, or realized something about yours. And what doesn’t work is, well, sorry, poorly developed soft skills,» wrote Junior Front-end Developer Viktor Tyagur .
