How Business Fights Laws That Protect Job Applicants From Ghosting
Ask The Headhunter, Monday, October 14th, 2024
If you've had to look for a job recently, you've likely wasted time on ghost jobs, and with employers that ghost you. Ghosting is when a company stops communicating even after it solicited you to apply for a job and attend interviews (sometimes many!).
Ghosting is a widespread, irresponsible, cruel practice. It has already done serious damage to many employers' reputations. Companies that ghost are widely excoriated by their victims online and have drawn the attention of the media. The Employment System - human resources (HR), recruiters, job boards, Applicant Tracking System (ATS) vendors and 'video interview' vendors - actively supports these abhorrent practices.
