You prepare.
You research the company.
You show up early.
You answer thoughtfully.
You follow up.
And then… silence.
Being ghosted after an interview isn’t just disappointing — it’s draining. You’re left refreshing your inbox, replaying answers in your head, wondering if you did something wrong.

Employer brands suffer

If you interview someone, please close the loop.
Silence isn’t neutral — it’s a message.

If a position is already reserved for someone with internal backing or connections, bringing others in just to “tick the process box” is misleading and unfair. It creates false hope and wastes people’s time.
This is not professionalism. It’s unethical.
Hiring should be transparent and honest. If the decision is already made, don’t sell hope you have no intention of delivering. less
