job reposted after interview ask a manager

It was a good thing I was one of the lucky ones in 2020 NOT to lose my job (and yes, I am still employed there). When a Job Is Reposted After Interviews After a hiring manager interviews candidates, sometimes jobs get reposted. I am not allowed to update candidates on the status of a search until the background check is finalized and the chosen candidate shows up (this takes MONTHS). The company simply and annoyingly forgot to remove the job posting. Yeah, I wasnt totally surprised, but I needed a job at the time. However, I never heard back. And was promptly ghosted after the final interview round and writing exercise. And its incredibly rude to applicants. Im going through a situation where Ive been told I have an offer coming for the past three months. Holy mother of headaches! Even that is better than nothing. If and when they get things sorted out, you can decide what to do. The hiring manager or human resources staffer screens job applications after the post closes to eliminate applicants who don't meet the posting's minimum qualifications, then the manager looks more closely at the remaining applications to determine which applicants will move to the next step in the hiring process. At the end of that phone call, on a Tuesday, the hiring manager asked to set up a virtual interview for that same Friday, which meant I had to scramble to come up with an excise to request PTO (and cant claim illness when Im in healthcare and there are COVID procedures in place around coming back on site after illness).

After the presentation, it was an additional 4.5 hours of back-to-back interviews with potential team members, managers of adjacent departments, and HR. I just want some sort of response. Theres no way that doesnt translate into how the company runs. On the flipside, if the position is reposted and you haven't heard anything after two weeks, it's advisable to redouble your job searching efforts elsewhere. You never know you were second choice. For companies that are a touch on the massive side or ones that have strict guidelines and rules about job postings, I could see this being a likely reason that a job gets reposted.

Things have worked out though :). I always get this one more week and one more week goes by and silence and then its a so and so had to approve. I had a message from an HR rep about doing a call on a Wednesday afternoon at 2:00, and I responded that yes, that would work, and heres my number. In effect, it's more an ad for the company itself as opposed to the job described. Here are a few of them: A 'weak' applicant pool: Not receiving sufficient qualified and experienced candidates from the first posting is one of the most common reasons for the reposting of the position.

Both times, I had great conversations with internal recruiters (at different companies in vastly different industries), who were both enthusiastic about me and asked me to provide availability to interview with members of the team. Four months is kind of ridiculous and Im glad I didnt hang on. This sounds a lot like my cousins job search in higher Ed. The reposting could be the result of any number of things. So they often have other, higher priorities.). Its so shitty. But if they keep acting flighty and messy, you dont have to care much.

And your being ghosted probably worked out way better for you than being hired and then laid off the next year. Well not everyone can be extremely marketable as you say. In the future, never accept the offer itself.

Thats not a great practice, of course ideally theyd write back to say, for example, Things are taking longer than we expected but I should be in touch in another week or two. But realistically, hiring managers are busy and often pulled in a bunch of directions, and hiring can end up lower on their list than work projects with pressing deadlines now.

This has to be good news for your chances, right? Normally, the claim is that so many apply that the recruiter cant even consider them all, let alone reject them. When I was nearly finishing up grad school I had a long, protracted interview process with a research lab that was affiliated with the university. They were hiring 3 people for the same role. They may simply not make your hiring process work together. (This from someone whod apparently said it behind my back a year earlier, that she could never be my reference, because thatd be a stain on her reputation.) In February of this year I applied for a position at a fairly big name company in my industry. You know the drill. While not responding to an initial interview request is unprofessional, its not comparable. I was even introduced to potential co-workers, given a short tour of the units office space, and provided with other information (like no internal candidate) that led me to think that I was the top candidate. I dont think I would have made it to be honest. So, if he offers you the job and you ghost him w/no answer, is he fine with that?

If youre too limp to have a difficult conversation, you have no business being a manager. Doing this helps hiring managers because it greatly limits the number of duplicate applications they receive. However in this particular case, Id been serving as an interim and had applied for the full time job but the full-time job had been given to a less-qualified man, who then dumped most of his job on me while he spent all day watching YouTube videos for the next half-year, and then was promptly fired within a month of my leaving because without me doing his job for him, it did not get done. Its one of my least favorite things about higher ed. Send a quick email thanking the hiring manager for their time. Originally published at New York Magazine. I know its not very helpful. candidates will have been chosen by more functional organizations? Or you can be perfect but they decide at the last minute that they really need to go with someone who speaks Flemish. As AG often says, you have to just forget it and let it be a nice surprise if they offer. Exactly. It makes a difference. : The most obvious reason that will make a manager get a Job reposted after the interview would be that they havent found the candidate they consider strong enough for the job, even if they like you.It may be an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) employer who is concerned that the pool of applicants is too narrow, so they want to encourage more people of diverse backgrounds to apply. And if thats something that seems to far of a reach, because it can require a huge shift in thinking, assuming they will miss the date they will for sure get back to you by might be easier to do mentally/emotionally since there are so many possibilities for that.

I had a similar situation. You can drop out at any time, so long as youre polite about it.

Multiple voicemails and emails were ignored in this timeframe. You can be a stunningly perfect candidate for the job, and then another candidate can come along who's even stronger. The interview involved me giving a 30 minute presentation, which I had only two weekday evenings to prepare (it turned out well and each interviewer complimented me on it, but definitely stressful to prepare). My predecessor decided she wanted that role, so instead of hiring 3 people for that role, they hired 2 and then me into her role (same team, just slightly different job). Perhaps there is no one person who can meet these expectations. This, of course, leaves candidates frantically checking their missed calls and wondering if theyre still in consideration, or if no one bothered to tell them theyve been rejected. Ghosting applications I can live with. I would really like to hear some HR people here justify this practice!

I got through the 2nd of 3 interview rounds in late February 2020; the 2nd round went well, and of course then the pandemic hit. The article reminded me of how, back when I was young and extremely marketable, I started a job search and sent my resume to two places one that I found through a friend whod heard of it from his recruiter and didnt want it, and the other, a frenemy weirdly called me and said her team had an opening and she very much wanted to bring me in. That is one of your jobs annoyances. I dont expect a reply and if I dont get one within two weeks, I mark it as a no. All this means, often it has absolutely nothing to do with the applicants and everything to do with the company (cant find a date that everyone is available for interviews, someones on vacation, theyre waiting to hire a new manager to get her input on hiring her reports, more urgent problems came up, etc.).
