Recruitment is like online dating, ghosting is around the corner.

Whether we like it or not, ghosting has become a part of human culture. With the option to ignore with (sometimes even without) a click of a button, ghosting has replaced common courtesy.

This is particularly true if you’re a recruiter. In a lot of ways, recruitment is like online dating, the chances of getting ghosted are just around the corner. Picture this, you are a recruiter on the look-out for an eligible date, or might we say, a candidate. After hours of tedious screening of jobseekers, or potential boo’s as the dating world might call it, you come across a few who fit the bill. What happens next?

From texts, to phone calls, and candidate screenings to interview scheduling, it’s a lot like moving from 1st base and progressing in a relationship. All for what? Getting ghosted one fine day, while making your round of recruiter calls. Like a knife piercing through the heart, recruiter ghosting is as nasty as a heartbreak. 

The ordeal of just beginning to trust another candidate from ghosting you is a task, just like in any relationship. So what can you do to prevent your candi-date from ghosting you, and leaving you high and dry?

First things first, look for highly matched deals. If your date is allergic to dogs, and your life revolves around your fur babies, we are looking at a bad break-up, or worse yet, an unhappy relationship. Just like that, ensure that your candidate highly matches what the job profile seeks. With employee surveys and proper candidate screening, you can find the right one for you.

You will be wasting time and company money if you pursue leads that lead pretty much nowhere. Just like you’ll be wasting time and money on dates that hit a dead-end in no time. So how can you prevent this catastrophe from happening, you ask?
