You’ve Been Ghosted: 3 Steps to Becoming an HR Ghostbuster

Is there anything more frustrating than having a potential job candidate and then, out of what seems like nowhere, they stop responding? We call that ghosting: the art of disappearing without a word.

76% of employers report they’ve been ghosted in the past year,  with 46% of job candidates not showing up for scheduled interviews.

Steven will be the first to tell you that recruiting is marketing. He earned a BS in Finance at Brigham Young University and has been working in the recruiting field since 2005. In 2008, he started ApplicantPro, a company designed to provide applicant tracking software for small to mid-sized businesses. 10,000 clients and 300 employees later, ApplicantPro has been on the Inc 5000 list 10 years in a row. Steve currently serves as the Utah SHRM State Director and he loves to volunteer. His book, The Hiring Tree: Laws of Applicant Attraction, has helped thousands of organizations across the country rethink the way they approach hiring. Again, recruiting is marketing.
