Dear all,
I have faced a problem recently. I have attended an interview recently with one of the big IT company recently for team lead-HR role. Having 7 yeas of experience in the HR field, I was very keen to explore the opportunity with this organisation. The recruiter was following up with me even 30 minutes before the interview, which made me feel good thinking that they are very much interested in my profile. My interview was at 10:AM , and I reached the place at 9:45 AM. I had to wait almost 1.30 hours for the interview (there were many waiting for interviews). The interview was very short for about 10 minutes and the recruiter told me that , the Manager-HR who, had to talk to me was very busy and could give me a call in the evening at 6:00 PM which was confirmed. I had almost took half day off, and again in the evening I waited for the call for 30 minutes and it was in vain. There was not even a call or message from the recruiter. I did follow up with him for the same and he told me that he would check and give me a confirmation. Its one month over and no feedback from them.
I feel as as HR professionals, don't we have to get back to the candidate atleast with a reply or a message. From this experience, should I assume that they are not interested in me?

Hi,
Generally, it can be said as an ethic that HR personnels follow when communicating the results of the selection process. Mostly they do not turn up or reply if the feedback is a negative one.
In this case, as its long time that they haven't come back, i guess either requirement is ceased out or they would found a suitable candidate for the same.
So dont lose hope, keep on trying. Requirements are huge. So you will get the best. Do not worry.
Thanks.

I agree. Today if you don't get any response from the HR team then do consider that they have got a better candidate for the role. Now; ideally we would expect someone to call and inform us the result or feedback on the interview, but more often it so happens that most of the managers don't like to break bad news to probable candidates. I personally feel a feedback is a must and should be given at all levels. Am sure probable candidates will respect the fact that the organization at least takes pains to call up and give feedback.
Your case is an example of either breaking the bad news or the organization having met a lot of candidates and not remembering to give feedback. It could also be a case of the feedback passed on to the consultant and them not passing this to you.
Anyway keep trying and all the best...
