The interview went great.That was 23 days ago.

It wasn't you. A company with 4,000 staff just lost the ability to type one sentence. Make the silence confess and apologise.

    For the ghosted, with evidence

    The questions you keep refreshing for.

    Why do companies ghost candidates after interviews?+
    Usually a mix of indecision, internal chaos, and the awkwardness of sending bad news. None of it is a comment on you. A two-line email would fix it, which is exactly why it never arrives.
    Is it rude to chase up after a job interview?+
    No. One polite follow-up after the stated timeline is completely normal and often appreciated. If silence still follows, the problem is firmly theirs.
    How long should you wait before assuming you have been rejected?+
    If they gave a timeline, add a week. If they did not, two weeks of silence after a final round usually means it is a no they could not be bothered to send.
    Who made We'll Be In Touch?+
    A team that has all been ghosted at least once, at kf.social. It is a parody, not a real recruiter.
