Ghosting: The workforce’s most recent and unfortunate trend

Making its way from the dating world to corporate America, ghosting is an unfortunate new hiring trend that companies have been facing over the last few years. The term is often used to describe the act of completely disappearing without a word – exactly what many candidates are doing in today’s employment market.

A vast amount of businesses have shared the experiences they’ve had with applicants not showing up for interviews or not answering phone calls and emails. Additionally, some new hires aren’t showing up for the first day of work and others quit before the end of their first shift.
