Had an interview a week ago and I think I’ve been ghosted?

I’m feeling a bit anxious after my interview last week.

Last week, I had a 90-minute interview with the VP of Brand Strategy and the Project Executive for a Marketing Specialist position at a company in the A/E/C sector.

Today marks one week since the interview. I sent a thank-you email the following day, where I shared my reflections, expressed my interest in the role, and thanked them for their time. I understood that they might be busy, so I didn’t expect an immediate response.

Today, I followed up with the recruiter who initially interviewed me. I inquired about any updates on the position and reiterated my enthusiasm for the role. I also mentioned how much I enjoyed meeting the team and admired their office. I’ve yet to hear back from her (though I only sent that email about an hour ago).

So, Reddit, I’m reaching out for your insights:

Did I get the job? Is it common for the hiring process to take this long? I know recruitment timelines can vary widely across different industries, but I would appreciate any feedback, especially from those in the A/E/C field, on why I might not have received a response yet.

Thanks for your help! 🙂

Working as a recruiter in Dublin Ireland

Exploring Recruitment Opportunities in Dublin, Ireland

Hi there,

I’m thinking about pursuing a career in recruitment and would like to know what the typical base salary is for this role. While I understand that there’s an OTE (On-Target Earnings) component, I’m specifically interested in the base salary—essentially the safety net.

Thanks in advance!

My new candidate sourcing method

New Candidate Sourcing Idea

Hey everyone,

I’m a tech enthusiast passionate about building SaaS products, and I’ve come up with an idea that I’d love your feedback on.

What if there was a tool that allowed you to reach out to developers in a specific region? This tool would provide their LinkedIn, Twitter, email, Reddit, and possibly even phone numbers. Would you consider paying €50 a month for access to this resource? It would facilitate direct communication with potential candidates in the software development field.

The thought is that while a developer might not respond on LinkedIn, they could be more receptive on Twitter.

Is there anything like this already available? I appreciate your insights!

Thanks!

recruiting architects for positions in higher ed or library systems?

Seeking Recruiters for Architectural Roles in Higher Education and Library Systems

Hello r/Recruitment,

I’m considering transitioning from my architectural firm to work on the client side and would love some guidance. My current firm has focused on designing libraries and educational spaces, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring that expertise into a college/university or library system to enhance their built environments.

I’ve found some recruiters that specialize in supporting libraries and higher education, but I’m particularly interested in firms that focus specifically on planning, design, and construction roles within those sectors.

As for my current situation, I’m based in NYC but planning to relocate to a region with a milder climate. This move would also allow me to help my father, who has arthritis, find an assisted living facility in an area with less humidity.

Additionally, I teach design part-time at a university and would love to continue that involvement if possible.

I appreciate any recommendations or insights you can share!

Thank you!

Are things you tell a recruitment agency confidential?

Are the details you share with a recruitment agency kept confidential?

I was recently hired through a third-party recruitment agency, and the recruiter who placed me in my current role often checks in with me. She’s suggested meeting up soon, and I’m curious about the confidentiality of the information I disclose to recruiters. Specifically, will anything I share get back to my employer or my company?

I’ve recently discovered that my salary is significantly lower than my colleagues, which was quite disappointing, especially considering how much I feel overworked. I’m wondering if it’s safe to discuss such sensitive topics with her.

Should I follow up?

Should I Follow Up?

Hi everyone,

I recently had my first interview for a role that I was really excited about. During the discussion, the recruiter and I reviewed my past work experiences, and they suggested that my skills might be a great fit for a different position within the company. I expressed my interest in that opportunity.

The recruiter assured me that they would move forward with my application for this new role and would schedule client interviews, promising to provide updates or details by next week.

However, this morning, I received an email from the company’s main recruitment email (not directly from the recruiter) informing me that they will not be progressing with my application for the initial position I applied for. This has left me feeling a bit frustrated.

I have a few questions:

  1. Does this mean my application has been reallocated to the other role, which is why I received that email?

  2. Should I follow up and send an email to the recruiter who interviewed me? Is it too early, or would it be better to wait until after next week?

  3. How can I ensure my follow-up doesn’t come across as pushy or disrespectful?

  4. What’s the best course of action moving forward?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

LinkedIn RSC

LinkedIn RSC: What You Need to Know

LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect (RSC) is a powerful tool that enables users to seamlessly transfer candidates from LinkedIn directly into their Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

How beneficial do you find this feature? Would it be a significant disadvantage to select an ATS that lacks RSC integration? It appears that most leading global ATS platforms have adopted this functionality. How frequently do you utilize it in your hiring process?
