I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and we scheduled a phone screen. Pro: the recruiter was engaged during the call and open with sharing information about the role and team structure. Con: I was told that they would be in touch the following week, but I never heard from them. I followed up once, but I never received a response. It always feels disrespectful to be ghosted after taking the time to interview with a company. A reminder for recruiters- you are asking for more time from a candidate than just the time allotted for the phone call.
