Is it now normal practice not to receive a response after interview?

Is it normal practice now to not receive a response from a face to face interview if you are unsuccessful?  I recently qualified in Level 3 and trying to get into HR.  I feel that this is rude and unprofessional that I have attended two interviews without having any response especially as these are for HR positions.

  • I have to say I've been on the receiving end of this too and i consider it rude and unprofessional. Whilst it is frustrating I do see it, as someone else pointed out, as a lucky escape. If a company doesn't treat potential candidates well and respect the time and effort they put into coming to interview then I don't want to give them my time.

    I travelled 250 miles to an interview last year, paying well over £100 in travel costs and had to chase repeatedly for a response. The company has since folded so that was definitely a lucky escape but that was one of the slightly less frustrating episodes i had whilst job hunting!

    I hope you find something soon.
