Reviewing a lot of posts of women trying to find jobs and the growing frustration with recruiters. As a former recruiter, I'd like to address any recruiters on here, please do not ghost your candidates. They are a pipeline. Each candidate is important but may not fit your job fills of today, but could be tomorrow. Please create a draft email at least and let the candidates know they are not being considered. Secondly to the job seekers, scour LinkedIn for information, be a detective. We have to rely on recruiters even HR Generalists in companies or whomever is doing their hiring, but make connections. Be memorable. How? Network, connect. Look for data online who is hiring? Or use ChapGPT who is hiring with my skills and list them. You have to do the leg work, and not totally rely on recruiters to get back to you. Apply and forget it. Then after you've done this 100 times, someone will reach out. Even if it's just a conversation at least you have made a connection and that is pivotal to your success rate of being noticed. And in addition, I've mentioned this several times, look at higher ed jobs! Some may pay lower, but they pay, are reliable and have great benefits. Give it a shot and consider something outside what you are used to. Good luck to you all!

Dealing with call outs
I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?

Truth!
As a job seeker, I'd say it's a good 50% of the time or MORE, that I spend a couple of hours preparing, then a 30-minute call with a recruiter , aka Screening Round, then..
crickets.....
Recruiters are HORRIBLE.

Not all recruiters are horrible, I wasn't. I'm still in the biz but helping recruiters hire students. If you have a degree, go back to your alma mater and get connected to other alums, go to events and also, use your University's recruiting system, if they have one.

I'm not a recent grad. And the post is about recruiters and candidates ghosting each other. I don't need a job, I have one, but I'd like to see the respect come back again in the hiring profession.

Agreed. I'm guessing all the ghosting is happening as the market is saturated with candidates. It's a numbers game as it always has been. I'll be in the mix with hundreds of recruiters soon and will ask about the ghosting going on and will share with you all here. Even those who apply and have had conversations are ghosted and our recommendation to all employers is to contact each candidate, even if it's a draft email, so they can have acknowledgement and move on. I treated people as people not just numbers but unfortunately I've been ghosted in my recruiting days when I was seeking. Wish more people would have better manners.
