A close friend of mine recently went through a long recruitment process for a role she was really excited about. After several interviews, she finally made it to the final round.
During that last interview, the recruiter hinted that a decision would be made soon. But after that... complete silence. Days passed. Then weeks. No updates. Nothing.
She was left confused. She had high hopes and felt like this might be the opportunity. But there was no follow-up, no clarity — just silence that left her guessing.
And it’s not just about not getting the job. It’s the disappointment, the anxiety, and the lack of respect for the time and effort she put into the process.
To this day, she hasn’t heard back. Not even a simple message. She lost sleep for weeks because she truly thought this was the perfect role for her.
And honestly, sending a short message like:
"Thank you for going through the interview process. At this time, we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate."
...doesn’t take much time, does it?
📢 Stop ghosting candidates.
Even the smallest feedback is better than complete silence.
