Yesterday, a candidate enthusiastically confirmed:
“See you at 10AM tomorrow!”
I blocked my calendar. Cleaned the meeting room. Even printed a copy of their resume.
Today, I sat there. Alone.
10:05. No message.
10:15. Still nothing.
10:45. I checked LinkedIn. The candidate viewed my profile. Again.
Recruitment ghosting is real — and brutal. For every position we fill, there are 5 no-shows and 3 vanishing acts.
🔍 Why do candidates ghost interviews?
Is it fear? Disinterest? Or just… swipe culture bleeding into job hunting?
Tomorrow, I’ll try again. Same smile. New name. Same empty chair?
