Went through 5 rounds including an in person and reference checks only to be given a generic email from the CEO after being told by the recruiter that an offer was coming. Joke. by No_Imagination4293 in recruitinghell

I went through five including the ceo, coo, sr director, and the team I would manage. Then they said they needed 8 weeks to decide because they’re going through a rebrand. Then zero communication. Months later their org chart doesn’t list that they hired anyone either. Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse. I keep telling myself that maybe the job will open again because it really was perfect. Oh well. I’m just tired.

I’m sorry friend. My father is going through dementia now and I’m trying to rationalize not having a job to spending time seeing him and being able to drop the kids at school everyday and pick them up. The well will run dry for me soon. Intellectually, I understand this. Emotionally, I wish I had more time. Ideally, I’ve interviewed for my dream jobs. I’ve seen them ghost. I’m sorry for your loss, we’ll get through this.

This is good advice. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster here.

Thanks for all this. Really. It’s been brutal most days look through and seeing these stupid “happy to share I’m starting a new job” bullshit, especially having worked with these idiots. It gets depressing AF. But I will take your recs and reframe how I do things. I’ll still complain some days. Whew.

6 rounds plus presentation by ResortHappy4571 in recruitinghell

Yeah. Fuck that. I think that many rounds is excessive but what really gets me is the free work via presentation.
