What to send when a recruiter ghosts you

When to send: After two unanswered follow-ups.

Subject: Closing the loop on [Role]

Hi [Name],

I have not heard back about the [Role] role, so I will assume the team has moved forward. Thank you for your time. I would be glad to be considered for future roles.

Best,
[Your name]

Tips

• Send it once, then archive the application.
• Closure notes sometimes get replies. Do not count on it.

Dayfive counts the days for each application and has the right note ready. Check your follow-up dates.

Other situations

• Follow-up email after applying for a job
• Thank-you email after an interview
• Follow-up email after a phone screen
• Follow-up email when you have not heard back after an interview
