08. Five Reasons Why Some Recruiters Ghost You (Part 1)

Ever had a recruiter say “You’re a perfect fit!” — and then vanish?

If you’re job hunting especially as an expat, this experience can feel like a punch to the gut. One moment you’re hopeful, the next you’re left in silence — no email, no feedback, just... nothing.

In this episode of Get Hired Today, we break down exactly why recruiters ghost candidates — even after a great first call. You’ll learn what’s really going on behind the scenes.

You’ll also discover:

  • The 5 most common reasons recruiters go quiet
  • Why hiring processes fall apart without warning
  • What to remember so ghosting doesn’t ruin your confidence

Press play to learn what no recruiter ever tells you — so you can keep your mindset strong and your job search moving forward.

I am an Italian Recruiter living in the Netherlands. I work for a recruitment agency in Amsterdam and I am the host of Get Hired Today, where I share job tips combined with some mindset tools for expats like me.

I’m not just a Recruiter, outside of work, I’m a normal guy who loves music, singing, baking healthy treats, travelling, and staying active through fitness. These things keep me balanced, especially when life gets hectic.

This podcast is not about being perfect, but it’s about growing together, step by step, through real conversations and some nice practical advice.
