Why you shouldn't ghost your applicants.

"Thank you for your application, but only those selected will be contacted." 

We have all encountered this common phrase in job listings. While it may appear innocuous, it reflects poorly on a company's practices. Here's why ghosting candidates is detrimental:

• Disrespectful: Candidates invest time, effort, and optimism in their applications. Disregarding them diminishes the value of their dedication.

• Unprofessional: It indicates a lack of structured hiring procedures within your organization.

• Reputation damage: Negative experiences are shared. Poor treatment swiftly tarnishes your company's image.

• Loss of potential clients: Applicants could also be future customers, collaborators, or advocates. Ignoring them drives them away.

• Perception of chaos: Failing to manage applicant communication raises doubts about your ability to handle clients and business operations effectively.

At NAFOR, we uphold a different approach. We prioritize transparent communication and never resort to ghosting. Every candidate receives regular updates throughout the entire selection process. Respecting people's time is not merely a choice. It is fundamental to professionalism and trust.

We help you build companies and organizations that last.
