It’s easy to feel like you did something wrong, but most times, ghosting is a reflection of the company’s internal process and not your qualifications, aka, “it’s not you, it’s them”. Here are some of the most common reasons:
Recruiters in Nigeria often receive a massive number of applications, making it nearly impossible to respond to every single person who applies or interviews. Sometimes, a promising candidate simply gets lost in the pile.
The hiring process can stall due to a variety of factors you can’t control. A sudden hiring freeze, budget cuts, or a change in the company’s priorities can put a promising role on hold or cancel it entirely.
The role you interviewed for might have been filled by an internal candidate or a referral, which means the external hiring process is no longer needed.
The recruiter may be waiting for feedback from the hiring manager or other team members, and without a definite answer, they have no update to give you.
