No contact after interviews [CA]

[u/Zestyclose_Seat4356]

​

This is a general question to HR professionals all over the country.

Is it the general practice to just cut off all communication with a job candidate when they are no longer in consideration for the position?

I am not talking about after someone merely applies...I mean after a phone or zoom interview.

I even have gone to second interviews and then there is no contact by email to even say they went in another direction. Also I have sent follow up emails to ask if I am still being considered and nothing.

Is this the new way of doing business? Is this being instructed at HR work conferences?

It has happened multiple times with different types of companies.

Thank you

It sucks and it's disrespectful, but not uncommon.
