Need answer to just one thing.
Do you guys intentionally ghost candidates or do you guys intentionally ghost candidates? 🙂
The main reason why anyone would ghost is people can’t take rejection. I am a recruiter and would be upfront if someone is rejected post an interview but have come across multiple folks who just couldn’t take a no.
I'm not HR but I did try recruiting for my own startup.
Problem is there's too many profiles applying for roles, and just hiring the right candidate takes up a lot of time. Rejection emails are unfortunately not a priority especially if the first screening itself removes the majority of candidates from pool of applicants. Unless someone uses good ATS and other systems that take care of emails at every step, it's not really worth spending time and money on for a small business.
If someone reaches out though, we do tell them if/why they were rejected. Then again, that's us as a small biz.
In my previous companies, the management will ask to do interviews mostly from competitor company or similar just to understand how they are doing, their numbers, data etc..
I’ve had this issue two fancy recruiters reached out unsolicited took my number/email and ghosted me. I’m quite pissed honestly because they took my personal information.
No disrespect but I've started to develop deep aversion towards HRs.
Everytime someone reaches out to me to provide information, I would just ask them to share a company link where I can officially drop them rather than just DMing them. And booom, they are now ghosts. Beware of such scammers though. They know about the bad job market right now and they portray themselves as a recruiter from a high seed funded startup or some big company and try to get as much personal information from unknown links.
I am new to the work force, 1.5 YOE. I want to understand the logic behind HR’s ghosting their candidates.
I had a recent experience of having an interview with this MNC and getting negotiation calls,and I was willing to settle near their offer, just because the office was very nearby and then suddenly I got ghosted.
I was not even actively ...
Because they can't say "hiring managers and decision makers realised they need someone else or someone cheaper". Reme...
Dear Recuriters,
What fun you get in ghosting candidates? If you have no answers from your management you can inform the same. Now don’t say you have lot of job to do. Candidate experience is also your job isn’t it.
