After the interview, the manager told me that I was good and that I met all the requirements. But I haven’t been called back, why?

This situation happens very often, and there are many reasons why this is the case. Let’s analyze some of the main reasons and see what to do in the most profesional way.

  • The employer was looking for a parallel employee and closed the vacancy on their own before the recruiter applied to you.
  • They have found another employee even more competent and experienced than you. Yes, this can happen.
  • The employer has changed the selection criteria for the position and you are no longer such a perfect fit for the position.
  • The manager has suddenly abolished the position. For example, he suddenly realizes that he doesn’t need a secretary or another sales manager.
  • There are also some indirect reasons for turning down the job. They won’t tell them to you directly, because it’s not customary to talk about them. But the reasons vary widely, from an unsuitable personal image for the job or having had some kind of history with the law. So, dress appropriately and maintain the right attitude at all times, these aspects influence more tan you think.

Why doesn’t the recruitment agency advertise the name of the hiring company?

It is annoying that recruitment agency vacancy descriptions do not include the name of the employing company. In addition, it is common for it to be hidden until the last minute, even during interviews. This can be uncomfortable if there are some organizations you don’t want to work for.

Of course, we understand how frustrating it is to spend time preparing for the interview and the interview itself, only to find out at the end that the company is not the right fit for you. Fortunately, this awkward moment rarely happens. In our defense, we can say that the reasons for withholding the name of the client company are compelling:

The confidentiality clause in the contract.

This clause cannot be broken, there is no way around it: it is one of the pillars of our reputation and of the relationship of trust with our employer. The employer hides his name, either to prevent competitors from finding out about personnel changes in his organization, or to avoid an upheaval within the company itself.
