76% of candidates globally have experienced ghosting during the hiring process - it’s time to call them out - iwasghosted in now live

🚨 iwasghosted (iwg) is now live 🚨

The point is -

  • 76% of candidates globally have experienced ghosting during the hiring process.
  • 56% of these incidents happen after final rounds, when the stakes are highest.
  • No feedback. No response. Just disrespect.

iwasghosted (iwg) was built to call it out. Expose companies that vanish on candidates. Share your story anonymously. Track ghosting trends with data that speaks louder than excuses. Why? Because ghosting isn’t just rude - it’s a broken system hurting careers and killing trust.

🔗 Post your story now: https://iwasghosted.vercel.app/ The reckoning has just begun.

If you’ve ever been ghosted, this is your mic. No pressure - just join the movement.

Hopefully it reaches both - the candidates who have experiences this, and the orgs who have done this.

I was ghosted by a food delivery company after HM round, then by a Swiss fintech company after their final round, then I was ghosted by a fintech company for their intern role despite being said by HR that Interviewer was impressed and the feedback was very postive and lastly by a company that is into the construction tech backed by VCs like sequoia, tiger capital and BlackRock.

All of these ghosting happened in just last 4-5 months and these happened either after final round or midway.

I have been ghosted by LTI MindTree (3 years ago). After the salary discussion he said I can expect an offer letter by tomorrow but none was received and no replies to any communication attempts from my side.
