Ask HN: Why do tech interview recruiters not reject me
Let me explain. I have been interviewing actively with tech companies and startups recently having already done about 15 interviews with different companies and into multiple rounds. I go through the phone screening, technical round and then meeting them on site. So far so good. Sometimes I know that the interview did not go well but sometimes I feel that it was really good. But after this starts my biggest headache.
They stop communicating totally as if the company doesnt even exist. They dont send any emails accepting or rejecting me (has been weeks). This has happened with 4 companies so far and I am fed up of sending email asking them again (mind you these are big named ones trending here often).
I dont mind being rejected. But to leave me 'hoping' is the biggest problem I have with them. I understand that you dont want a bad hire but atleast saying that you are not a fit right now is what I am expecting.
I also find this to be a bigger problem in the US than in some other countries I have worked.
