Has anyone been 'hiring ghosted'?

I've been on the casual job hunt for the past 3 months, and I've had a few interviews that, I my mind, went really well. The last 2-3 job interviews I've had (and these were face to face, meet the HR personel interviews) have not manifested into an actual offer...in fact, I've been essentially ghosted after the interviews. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or maybe it's just me?

Hi Sarah Thompson-Hockenberry - this happens WAY too often! I don't know why they do it.. if they've already invested so much time into interviewing a candidate, they should be able to say at the very least "Sorry, we decided to move in another direction."

The good news is you probably don't want to work for a company whose HR team does that. If they are treating potential employees this way - what do you think they treat the ones who are already there? Bad practices in my mind.

Keep your head up - there are thousands upon thousands of people that experience this, and they get jobs after being ghosted. You will too!
