- Onegoodhead Not seeing results? Feel like giving up? Consider this - The last thing that grows on a tree is the fruit. Post interview recruiter and HR ghosting is the RULE, not an exception. If you’ve followed up and haven’t heard anything after a week. the truth is ‘‘you didn’t get the job”. Unfortunately, these stories reoccur often. Over 35% of job seekers say they were rejected from a gig by never actually getting any feedback at all, i have taken time to write and discuss a lot of these scenarios below Steps to Take when Ghosted by a Potential Employer 1. Don’t take it personally! (I know it’s hard not to, but you have no idea what’s happening) Whatever the issue – the negative thoughts only make the situation more solidified. If you work hard to have the right mindset, that this is the story you will tell when you overcome it – you will be able to put all that negative energy into good planning. Maybe they did just blow you off, but getting bitter about it won’t serve you! Move onto the next. 2. Make sure you have taken reasonable actions to follow up. (If you haven’t gotten interviewed yet, use LinkedIn and any networking means to find out who the hiring manager is and contact that person via email, phone, or direct message. If you have, you know their contact info.) 3. Remember, if they didn’t select you, it’s “their” loss. (If you know thyself though) 4. Leave accurate, anonymous, critical feedback about your candidate Experience on their company page of Glassdoor.com and Indeed.com or anywhere available like Nairaland for Africans to enlighten hopefuls. 5. Be classy! Treat them the way you would want to be treated if you made a mistake. Be factual and don’t write angry. After enough negative feedback on their public review page, they may improve the candidate experience. Read more: https://onegoodhead.com/recruiter-ghosting-potential-employer/ 2 Likes

Not in Nigeria. Nigeria employers are a joke. I sent one a post interview email requesting for feedback as I haven’t gotten any info from them. His reply? Get out of my mail box and never send me a message again. Can you imagine? I gently replied: Fvck you and your job too. I rather stay self employed than work in that shithole where HR feels like god! 33 Likes 4 Shares |

When i don't get a response after making a move, I just conclude it's not my destiny to get get it and move on. That mindset has been working for me not to make me sad or bitter. I believe a better place of work has been destined for everyone. After one bump, Just continue to improve on your personal ability and keep your head straight. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

My God has bn so kind to me from day 1. I have never looked for a job even for one day. I left secondary school. I was recommended for a job. I got it. Worked and studied. Taking care of my educational needs was made a bit easier for me. Was even training two of my siblings in school the same time. Got graduated, I never looked for any job. Have worked with 4 good firms all through recommendations. Though I had to pass all the rigors of interviews which I came out well. I never left any of the firms without bn well celebrated. Now I have my own team of employees. May God help all job seekers. 7 Likes |
