This will end up biased by the largest employers. Kind of like crime maps--they make it seems like there's an extraordinary amount of crime concentrated in urban areas, but that is due (in part) because that's where a lot of people live. A small company might ghost 90% of applicants and have a low count of ghostings, whereas a large employer might ghost 2% of applicants and have a very large count of ghostings.<p>This website could be improved by recoding employers who did not ghost applicants.
Useless list. This will be the 57th priority in the list of things that one would be worried when looking for a job.<p>i) If you are unemployed, you really don't have a choice.<p>ii) If you are talented and sought after, trust me you won't be ghosted.<p>Ghosting could be just one HR person or an orgs incompetency. To project that to your career prospects in that said company is completely irrational.<p>Not to mention without doing real statistical analysis, like total ghosts / total interviews by month.<p>Or how about gaming this list itself?<p>This list is for naive, populists who think that this matters.
I haven't been ghosted much but I generally call companies before I apply for a job. It's a litmus test for me of how shit they are. No number to call or no person to talk to in person about the role then there is no point applying.<p>Try it sometime. Only apply to jobs you can jump on the blower and speak to someone about. Completely disregard employers and employment firms that don't have a point of contact that results in a person. They aren't worth your time. Also question the person if they will get back to you. Legit put the onus on the company to not ghost you. Call them back after your application has been in for say a week past deadline.<p>If the company your applying to can't handle all of that. Likelihood you will get ghosted during application is high. Not to mention their work environments probably toxic af if they can't manage to maintain basic manners and respect to their prospective employees.<p>Apply the same when pushing for contract jobs or work of any form. Set the standards you want.
Here, I found a more comprehensive list <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/company-list" rel="nofollow">https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/company-list</a>
Perhaps I’m not plugged into etiquette but isn’t "ghosting" normal and standard procedure? I remember the first time I wasn’t "ghosted" (it was a FAANG) and I was totally shocked and was afraid the recruiter was going to get reprimanded.<p>That said, in retrospect perhaps it would be nice if fewer employers "ghosted" former prospective employees.
Ghosting is a legitimate way to deal with job candidates, as it is with potential romantic partners. The reason why is because crazies don't handle rejection very well, and you don't want to incur their wrath, both from a safety and a
liability standpoint.
When I interviewed folks at a big tech company, I'd tell them after the interview if my review was going to be largely favorable and why. Definitely gave them feedback on what to improve and how to improve it.<p>Getting ghosted sucks. As being told why you didn't make it.
