Don’t Get Ghosted by Your Best Candidates!

Summary

Finding the best candidate for your open job is a constant battle.

Not only do you have to seek out those with the best talent, but you have to keep them interested so they don’t vanish before your eyes and ditch you without notice! Also known as “ghosting.”

This recently coined phenomenon (thanks to dating apps!), refers to when someone cuts off contact with another person, failing to respond to any communications and essentially becoming a “ghost.”

95% of recruiters say they have been “ghosted” by candidates. And what’s worse, 40% of candidates believe it’s reasonable to ghost firms.

The good news is that ghosting can be defeated.

That’s where we come in.
