๐ซ No update. No closure. Just silence.
Having worked closely with founders, CEOs, and decision-makers, I know this: in most cases, a hiring decision is formed quickly after an interview. Whether itโs a yes or a no, thereโs usually clarity early on.
Thatโs why, if youโre at the stage of interviewing candidates, a simple follow-up is not optionalโitโs basic professional courtesy.
Even when there are internal delays or decision bottlenecks, responding when a candidate follows up matters. Ghosting leaves people anxious, frustrated, and feeling disregarded.
Candidates invest time, effort, and hope into every interview.
Respect their time.
Respect their effort.
Respect their journey.
Because ghosting doesnโt just hurt candidatesโit quietly damages your employer brand too.
