Feeling Ghosted After My Interview: Need Some Insight!
Hi everyone,
About a week ago, I (34M) had a 90-minute interview for a Marketing Specialist position with the VP of Brand Strategy and the Project Executive at a company in the A/E/C sector.
Today marks exactly seven days since that interview. I sent a follow-up email the day after, summarizing my experience, expressing my gratitude for their time, and reiterating my interest in the position. I didn’t expect a reply right away, knowing how busy their schedules can be with various projects.
Earlier today, I followed up with the recruiter who first interviewed me over the phone, inquiring about any updates on the role and sharing how much I enjoyed meeting the interview team and seeing the office. However, I haven’t received a response yet (though I just sent it about an hour ago).
So, Reddit, I’m reaching out for your thoughts:
Have I missed the mark on this opportunity? Is it common for the hiring process to take a week or more? I understand that different companies and industries may operate differently, so any insights, especially from those familiar with the A/E/C industry, would be much appreciated!
Thanks for your help! 🙂

Exploring a New Candidate Sourcing Tool
Hey everyone!
I’m a tech enthusiast who enjoys creating SaaS solutions, and I’ve come up with an idea that I’d love your feedback on before diving in to build it.
What if there was a tool that enabled you to reach out to developers from specific regions? This tool would provide you with their LinkedIn, Twitter, email, Reddit profiles, and potentially even phone numbers. Would you consider paying €50 per month for something like this? It could give you direct access to potential candidates in the software development field.
The concept stems from the idea that many developers may be less responsive on LinkedIn but might be open to communication via Twitter, for example.
Do you know if a service like this already exists?
I appreciate your thoughts! Thank you!
Subject: Seeking Recruiters for Architecture Roles in Higher Education and Library Systems
Hello r/Recruitment,
I’m considering transitioning from my architectural firm to a client-side role and am eager to explore opportunities in higher education or library systems. My firm has had great success designing for libraries and learning environments, and I would love to leverage that experience to enhance the built environment for a college, university, or library system.
During my initial search, I’ve come across a few recruiters who focus on filling positions in libraries and higher education. However, I’m specifically looking for firms that specialize in recruiting planning, design, and construction professionals within these sectors.
Just to share a bit about my circumstances: I’m currently based in NYC but am looking to relocate to a more temperate climate. This move would also allow me to place my father, who has arthritis, into a suitable assisted living facility where the humidity is lower.
Additionally, I teach design part-time at a university and would be keen to continue that aspect of my career if possible.
Thank you for your assistance!
Would you consider hiring a candidate who may lack extensive experience but can clearly demonstrate their skills? When searching for talented individuals, what criteria do you prioritize? At what point do you decide to move on from a candidate, or do you rely on automated filtering methods in your selection process?
Are the details you share with a recruitment agency kept confidential?
I was recently hired at my current company through a third-party recruitment agency. The recruiter who placed me in my role has been checking in on me periodically and has suggested we meet up soon. I’m curious about whether the information I share with recruiters remains confidential and won’t be passed on to my employer or colleagues.
I recently discovered that my salary is significantly lower than that of my colleagues, which was quite disappointing to learn considering I take on a heavier workload. I’m wondering if it’s appropriate to discuss this kind of information with the recruiter.
Starting a new job: intuition vs. reality
Although my gut feeling tells me no, the reality is much more difficult.
Hello! I recently had my first interview for a role I’ve been eager to land. During our conversation, the recruiter and I discussed my previous work experiences, and they suggested that my skills might be a better fit for a different position within the company. I expressed my interest in this alternative role.
The recruiter assured me that my application would be considered for the new position and that I would be scheduled for client interviews, with updates expected next week.
However, this morning I received an email from the main recruitment address (not the recruiter directly) stating that my application for the original role will no longer be considered. I’m feeling quite frustrated about this situation.
I have a few questions:
Is it possible that my application has been redirected to the other role, which is why I received this email?
Should I reach out to the recruiter who interviewed me? Is it too soon to follow up, or should I wait until next week?
How can I ensure my follow-up is respectful and not too pushy?
What would be the best course of action for me right now?
Thank you for your help!
LinkedIn RSC Overview
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 is this feature? Would it be a significant disadvantage to select an ATS that lacks RSC integration? Notably, most leading global ATS platforms offer this functionality. Do you leverage it regularly in your hiring process?
