Why do recruiters ghost?
I have been ghosted more by recruiters than being ghosted by my dates. Why can’t recruiters be respectful to us and stop ghosting us? Software engineers are human beings and have feelings too.

Four points:
- there are people who can handle power and there are those can't
- those that can't handle power, tend to behave like assholes when they do get power
- some people are idiotic enough to think proximity to power is real power.
- if people did not treat others, the way they'd never want to be treated, our planet would be a true heaven.
Some recruiters think they are the overlords, lording over the destinies of a candidate. That they are the one bestowing a job on someone. They forget that they themselves are employees and not the employer, or they're not those who created that job.
If they kept in mind, that once in a while, they too play candidate and would hate to be ghosted or mistreated, they'd probably not treat candidate in this manner. But most people are dumb mfs who can barely register the inconsistentencies in their behaviours.

No incentive for them to respectfully inform the candidates, also there's already a polarity between candidates & recruiters where recruiters particularly in India enjoy a great amount of attention, makes them even less cordial to keep feedback loop running, they'll always have a load of candidates applying for any job profile.

Recruiting is being outsourced. And incentives ensure they have no ethics
