Over 60% of the candidates we've registered at Park Personnel in the last 3 months have experienced some form of 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 👀👻
We're seeing more applications go unreviewed on the client side, applications sitting on portals for weeks on end, interview feedback taking weeks to arrive (if it arrives at all!), and sometimes complete radio silence after candidates have invested significant time and effort in a process.
𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. A quick update or short email (even if there isn't a decision yet) can make all the difference.
People remember how they were treated during a recruitment process long after it's finished... I see it all the time when candidates tell me they 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 apply to certain companies because of a poor experience they had years ago!
In a competitive talent market, your employer brand isn't just built by the people you hire but by every candidate who interacts with your business.
