If you could ask a recruiter one question about WHY they ghost/don’t ghost, what would it be? That is, what would you want to know about their worlds that might help you understand “ghosting”?

What’s our definition of “ghosting” here? For example, I don’t get mad about getting no response to cold emails. But not hearing back after I physically interview (or Skype) will make me furious.
