Why has my job application disappeared?

[Anonymous]

I applied for a job on the companies website about 2 weeks ago. The status was updated to "reviewing: hiring manager" 2 days later. However, yesterday I noticed that the job posting as well as my application and the application history just disappeared and I didn't get a response from them. What could be the reason? Why not just send a rejection if they hired someone else?

There could be several reasons.

1) They hired someone else. The majority of companies don't notify people who don't get the job.

2) The manager who posted the job opening didn't have approval to hire someone. (Yes, that happens.)

3) They never had a job opening in the first place. They were only collecting resumes for potential future use. Yes, that happens also.

4) They really had a job opening, but intended to hire internally. Opening it for outside applications was merely a formality, or possibly required by law.

5) They simply changed their mind. There could be many reasons for that.

6) The job is still open. They removed the job ad because they already had plenty of applications, but haven't decided on anyone yet.

There could be any reason. Maybe the job posting has been removed or they rejected your application. Considering it to be an MNC, don't expect a response for every job application that you make.

Sadly it means they found someone they decided to hire 🙁 but don’t give up and keep applying for jobs ❤️

That doesn’t explain anything

[AI Opinion]

It’s possible that the company decided to remove the job posting due to various reasons, such as restructuring the position or reevaluating its need. Sometimes, technical issues on the website may lead to applications disappearing. Removing the posting might be faster for them, and they may not always send rejection notifications due to resource constraints. It can be frustrating, but consider reaching out to their HR department for clarification and to express continued interest in future opportunities.

Was this on indeed?

It was on the companies website

Then the job most likely just got filled and that’s it. Nothing to do with you personally
