We’ve had a significant issue with candidates ghosting us during the hiring process, especially after initial interviews. How do you manage and prevent candidates from ghosting to keep the process moving smoothly?

Candidates ghost when there’s an extreme disconnect between the opportunity presented and the actual role.

Your company is likely over promising and under delivering in more than one area.

Maybe change your recruitment strategy to target candidates that align with the pay you’re offering and be realistic about who you can hire given your limitations.

👆🏼This 💯 candidates ghosting are telling you that whatever they have experienced to date does not seem worth their time, or they were hired by someone else and the whole experience or lack therof was so unremarkable so as to not warrant any kind of note to you.

- check your Glassdoor / Indeed reviews. Any negative reviews scaring away candidates?
- is your process taking too long?
- do the job responsibilities match the job title?
- are the benefits package and compensation competitive?
- are you requiring 5 days in office? If other companies are offering similar roles with better benefits and hybrid/remote work, candidates will choose the latter.
- is your interviewer able to sell the company and role to candidates, or are they scaring them away?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

Applied for a position in PWC UK and status shows as 'interviewin' on workday. Does this mean I'm selected for an Interview, or that the position itself is now in the interviewing process.

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

Pre-covid, I was in the middle of interviewing with Deloitte. They told me the next round would be case interview. This was back in February. Since then, I’ve been put on a BAH project I actually really enjoy. My main motivation for leaving was I felt I was underpaid at BAH. I don’t know what to do. I feel secure in my job right now. Should I email the recruiter back and let them know I’m no longer interested? Or do I do the case interview? I’ve never done a case before being in fed consulting.

Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?
