Did They Ghost You? | Hacker News

Hacker News commenters argued that hiring ghosting is often caused by broken recruiter workflows, not just candidates.

Examples included recruiters disappearing, delayed feedback, and companies resurfacing after long periods of silence.

People pointed to recruiter turnover, outsourced hiring, and weak follow-up systems as common root causes.

Some compared this with the EU, where rejection notices tend to be more consistent and timely.

The discussion highlighted how poor hiring communication wastes candidate time and exposes recruiting process failures.
