Ghosting has unfortunately become normal. BA employment statistics: recruiters sometimes process 200+ applications per position. Follow up once after 2 weeks — 'I applied for [position] and wanted to briefly ask if there is an update.' If no response then: one more enquiry after another 2 weeks, then move on. GDPR Article 15: you have the right to know what data is stored about you — even at companies that never responded. AGG Section 61a: companies are obliged to inform applicants within a reasonable timeframe. Practical tip: always have multiple processes running in parallel — never bet on a single application.
