The talent acquisition process needs to upskill on candidate communication. Too many candidates invest hours researching companies, tailoring resumes, and preparing for interviews, only to be ghosted.

I understand recruiters and hiring managers are often overwhelmed, but hiring is a human process. A simple update, even a rejection, shows respect for a candidate’s time and effort. What’s your take on this?

I have applied to many jobs, gone on the interview only to be ghosted and never hear a thing. As a candidate with over 30+ years of experience I feel that doing this is not only rude but unprofessional. Just please let candidates know something.
