No matter how many years I’ve worked in Finance, and how many people I’ve interviewed, I’ve always considered a polite gesture to inform candidates that were interviewed if they were selected or if we chose to move forward with other candidates.
I struggle to understand why in the 21st century, in the year of our Lord 2026, recruiters and hiring managers get you through 3 interviews just to ghost you and ignore that one email asking for a status update 2 weeks after the last interview.

I've heard various explanations for why ghosting has become so commonplace. I accept that while we're awash in communication devices, communication has become impersonal and devalued, and people just can't manage it properly. That's only partly the issue, however, it's also just a symptom of the general breakdown in personal behavior in society.

Curious what were the explanations for ghosting you heard of?

Couldn’t agree more. It feels like basic professionalism to close the loop, especially after multiple interviews. The ghosting is frustrating and honestly hard to justify!

That’s truly amazing
