I've been experiencing a frustrating trend lately with recruiters ghosting me after initial contact. In the past month, this has happened three times, all with roles that were either remote or better than my current job. Each time, I felt a surge of excitement when they reached out, only to be left hanging after I responded positively, asking when we could discuss further. It's disheartening to be ignored, especially by well-known recruiting agencies like Actalent and Insight Global. I understand that they have busy schedules, but it feels unprofessional to initiate contact and then go silent. This situation has begun to feel like psychological abuse, and I'm left wondering why they even bothered to reach out in the first place.
