In this episode of The Branding in Five Podcast, I cover a complex topic: what to do if a recruiter ghosts you. Although it’s inconsiderate of a recruiter to drop all contact with you after an interview, it sadly does happen, and it can feel hurtful. 

I give four tips on handling being ghosted by a recruiter, including when you should reach out to a recruiter after an interview and how proactive you should be about staying in touch. I also share some advice on what you can work on if you’ve been ghosted to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
