Offered a candidate the job. They accepted… then ghosted. No heads-up, no notice—just vanished. How do you move on from that?
And how do you spot the red flags before you’re left hanging?

Nah! Be kind and just let it go. Recruiters and hiring managers are notorious for ghosting candidates. Take it as a page in your own book. Sit and relax. Your training worked well.

Well, I suggest you mark that candidate in your system as no hire because you know they will be back and applying for other openings. This guy sounds like a flake you're better off without them. They did you a favor!

How long have they been silent? You have no idea what might have happened - they could have had a family tragedy and need the time.

Alternatively… make offers that candidates can’t refuse.

Is a simple email too much to ask? A quick thank-you note to let the other party know you're not interested would be more than enough

Hire the second-best? You can’t control other people’s behavior, only your own.

As for ghosting, it could be any number of things, ranging from finding another job they like more to getting hit by a truck and being in a coma.

The only things that can minimize the odds of it happening are moving through the process quickly, setting clear deadlines for them AND yourself, and communicating often throughout.

They accepted the offer so what the offer was doesn’t matter to the rest of us

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?
