•Download as PPTX, PDF•
•

This webinar discusses the problem of recruiters "ghosting" candidates, or cutting off communication without notice. Ghosting can damage a recruiter's reputation and a company's brand. It leaves candidates feeling confused and frustrated. The webinar urges recruiters to avoid ghosting by keeping candidates updated throughout the hiring process, being empathetic, and personalizing communication. Treating candidates with care and respect establishes recruiters and their companies as caring employers.
