I've applied to between 550-600 jobs since December and hardly heard anything back. The past two weeks recruiters started reaching out to me and at this point I'm at least having early round discussions with 5 companies. They're mostly smaller and somewhere in the health care space, but I went from virtually 0 to having something. Obviously it's early stages so you can't count on anything, but it looks like things may be picking up again.

Based on memory I'd say a ghosting rate of 8/10 for about 60 applications evenly spaced out since Jan 1st in EU. I got 1 (one!) interview this week but despite "genuinely impressive resume, interest, and motivation" they decided to continue with other candidates for round two.
