Ghosting by HR

Why does HR ghosts? Is this being taught to them in HR courses? In a decent work setup a simple No or Yes either on mail or text would be ideal.

A plain No would suffice instead of ghosting. Could be communicated over mail as well.

Well imagine being a recruiter myself, i dont get a rejection call post interviews. Companies have made it their own norm. Just an unfortunate truth

A half decent individual would understand and seek only feedback. A mailer would solve this

Ghosting is often because most people are either too busy or feel uneasy saying no.

Automated mails when you mark a profile ‘not shortlisted’ is an easy enough option but I get your point.

It's human nature to not being defensive in situations that can be avoided.

Talk about being open. If the objective of the question was to bitch about them, then you should tag it as a rant.
