🚫 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 it’s a yes or a no, there’s usually clarity early on.
That’s why, if you’re at the stage of interviewing candidates, a simple follow-up is not optional—it’s 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 doesn’t just hurt candidates—it quietly damages your employer brand too.
