5 reasons why ghosting is dismantling your job search.

And why 75% of job seekers are left in the dark.

Here's how to cope with it.

Face it, ghosting is the scourge of everybody's job search.

Understanding the "why”

Here are 5 reasons why it happens:

→ The position has been filled internally
→ The budget for the position has been cut
→ The company is going through a reorganization
→ The employer has found a candidate they like better
→ The hiring manager is new and still working out

Hello! I’m looking to enter the talent acquisition space, and am very interested in recruitment. I’ve held an HR role in the past and currently recruit students for a workforce development program. Do you know of any companies who are willing to do on the job training in a recruitment role? I believe I have a lot of applicable experience, but have never had a formal recruitment title. I appreciate any feedback you can offer.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
