One thing we've been getting a lot of feedback about is recruiter "ghosting". While we try to avoid having anyone feel like they're not being communicated with, sometimes emails end up in spam folders, and sometimes things just take longer than expected. Has anyone found a good way to help mitigate this issue?

Brutal honesty with the hiring manager and candidate and clear expectations. During your kickoff with the HM, define the process and establish timing.

Communicate the timing to the candidates at each step (allow a buffer).

If your ATS, HCM, or HRIS has triggers and automation, use them to help.

Truth be told, you can do everything right and still miss. Trying new things and explaining why timing is essential helps.

It may seem like a waste, but using some of your time and resources to focus on Candidate Experience. A 30 second phone call the day of each interview (or text, if the candidate is comfortable with that) can go a long way. We’ve had at least 2 employees who recently came on say that they chose us partially because of the candidate experience during the interview process

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
