Buyers have very specific requirements, and sellers make sure to follow them carefully. But when sellers send an exact match, many buyers don’t even respond.

A simple reply as “This works, please send details.” “Not suitable,” or “Requirement closed” is enough.

Instead, sellers are left wondering whether the requirement is still open, whether the offer was suitable, or whether the buyer has already chosen someone else. We then end up following up repeatedly just to get a basic confirmation.

If sellers are expected to follow requirements precisely, buyers should also give basic confirmation.
 
Totally agree

If sellers can take the time to match every requirement, a quick works, not suitable, or closed from the buyer would help a lot.

Otherwise, we’re just sitting there wondering if the requirement is still open or if our message got lost in space

Totally agree with this. A quick not suitable or requirement closed takes a few seconds and saves both sides a lot of time. Communication should work both ways especially when someone has taken the time to prepare an exact match to the buyers requirements.

Agree.. convo should be two way street. If the deal or offer isn't fit let the seller know. Which Saves everyone time and avoid follow ups
 
Yes, I agree - sometimes it takes longer to find the perfect candidate rather than it takes to actually offer them a job

A 5-second reply such as "filled", "not a fit", or "send details" may help sellers save several days of unnecessary speculation and following up. Clear communication is not only one of the seller's expectations but it should also be sellers' communication to you.

if buyer doesn't reply, it takes a few seconds to follow up
no need to panic

if left on read, move on
