The fact that they call it giant of Africa shows how shity Africa is.

gassbee:
those ones are not serious firms, wat about by the time they call u after 1 or 3 months and u r already gainfully employed.
A serious firm wil get back to you within 2 to 3 weeks

dfrost:


Actually they do. Communication is a two-way thing.

How will they feel if the person actually passed the interview and agreed on T&Cs and resumption date and doesn't turn up?

They will feel bad I guess and term the person a fraud or unserious person right?

ivolt:

Well, not resuming is not fraud!
It doesn't matter how they feel, the candidate is free to make their choice.

I have noticed a very annoying patterns with Nigerian organisations about interviews and employment. A job will be widely advertised, you will apply for the job, get invited for the interview. After the interview the recruiter maybe because you didn't perform well most often will not get back to you. You will have to wait endlessly.

I have a friend who is in Scotland. He moved from Nigeria in January this year. He told me that all the job interviews he attended, they all got back to him even when they did not give him an offer. They even went ahead to explain his performance at the interview and how he can improve better.

I understand its almost impossible to reach out to everyone that applied for a job, this is even stated by most recruiters during advertisement, my issues is that the few that you invited for interview deserve to know how they fared.

I know one can argue that not being reached means you weren't hired but its emotionally killing having to wait for a long time.

Teespice:
You are saying recruiters do not get back to prospective employees after interviews, do they acknowledge that applications were received in the first place?

Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

First don't compare a working country to a forced enclave called Nigeria. The only thing that's working in Nigeria is that you can urinate anywhere you want to even if there's " Do not urinate signboard at the particular place. And secondly BMC is fast growing disease in Nigeria and its has no cure at the moment.

It would be great and polite if they responded, but they owe you nothing unfortunately.

It's like a movie start not greeting you back after you've said hi.
You're expending 1 person effort in saying hi to them, but they'd be expending thousands of persons energy to say hi back to every one that greets them.

Maybe if the firms were more tech savvy, they be able to within 5 minutes send an email to everyone not accepted, but unfortunately with the way they currently operate, it might be some 2 hrs of their time collating and sending out such mails, so not worth their

They can't always acknowledge that applications were received. Do you know the number of applications that were received?

Not all organisations use automated processes.

Someone mentioned the ATS. To tell you the truth, most ATS are restrictive, and disadvantageous to candidates, so for certain roles, the ATS is kept aside and the screening is done manually. ATS has no sense of discernment.
