You crushed the interview, then heard nothing. Here's what to do next.

"Getting ghosted is all too common when submitting job apps but the silence feels even louder when you don't hear back after an interview. After all, if you've taken the time and effort to prepare, the least a company can do is send a rejection note once they hire someone else, right?"

"It's general disorganization. It's not someone trying to be cruel. Recruiters might accidentally archive everyone from the role once they've filled it."

"The likelihood that they actually care or going to change anything is very low. Even if dozens of applicants provide the same feedback, it probably won't make a difference in the company's practice."

While some career coaches believe following up is a waste of time, others, like a recruiter from Zapier, suggest it can be worthwhile. Ghosting often results from disorganization rather than malice. Candidates may feel entitled to a rejection note, but many companies fail to communicate due to oversight. A follow-up can be beneficial, but its effectiveness may depend on the company's culture and responsiveness.
