I got made redundant at the end of June, I've had quite a lot of interest thankfully and I got a job offer mid-July after several interviews (so I haven't really been looking since then).
Today I got a call saying the position had been axed due to budget cuts (it's a local authority role). I went through a two stage interview, full HR process and then the plug is pulled. I'm furious as I haven't been active for the last couple of weeks bar one role I kept on the back burner just in case. Has this happened to anyone on here before? I'm glad I at least kept the other role as a backup. It could potentially be for more money too so hopefully it's a blessing in disguise (doesn't feel like it at the moment though). |  | | |  |

Interesting that you post it now. I'm on the other side of recruitment and this week I retracted the first offer in the 3-4 years I've been at the company.
My retracted offer was because new information came up regarding their management/communication style. We weren't confident it would work out and it relt reckless to pull them out of their role. We were subsequently keener on a couple of other candidates that we had rejected.
It took me about 2 hours to write the retraction email. I responded to a feedback request email that took about 6 hours of combined time going back and forth with hiring managers. That time was mainly spent in my evening, so I could foucus uninterrupted. The management wanted to present things nicely and I wanted to be more direct with the feedback, so it was actionable. Eventually we created something that we were all happy with.
My experience is that it is a pretty rough on all sides. No one wants to get to that stage and retract and offer. I don't think it is common.
I think it is better that they made the decision now, rather than wait until you joined and they make the decision in 3 months or so. It seems a little odd that they advertised in their condition, but I guess there has to be a threshold/cut off at some point. |  |

The recruiter is mortified, I said to him please don't feel bad as it's outside of his control. The email I received from the organisation is also very apologetic, it sounds like it has come from higher up and further redundancies are planned in the organisation.
It all feels a bit rough at the moment. I'm in software but I know a few fellow people in the industry who have been laid off and are struggling. | | | |
