Why do recruiters ghost candidates?

Updated: Jun 8, 2023


Dear job seekers,

We understand how frustrating it can be to apply for a job and not receive any response from recruiters. It's important to remember that this experience is not a reflection of your worth as a candidate, but rather a result of various factors that can affect the hiring process. So why do recruiters ghost candidates?


One reason recruiters may not respond is that they are too busy or have too many applications to handle, making it difficult for them to get back to everyone.


Another possible reason is that the recruiting process may not be streamlined, making it challenging for recruiters to keep track of each candidate's status.

Another reason why recruiters may not respond is that they are not impressed with the candidate's qualifications, skills, or experience.


In some cases, the recruiter may have discovered something negative about the applicant that led them to reconsider their candidacy.


In other cases, the recruiter may not be interested in the candidate's background, which can lead to a lack of response.


Worth mentioning also when our client, the beneficiary of our service and future employer, does not provide this ultimate feedback...

Recruiters may also not respond if the applicant does not follow up after submitting their application. While it's not always necessary to follow up, sending a professional and concise email or making a phone call can help the applicant stand out from the crowd. It shows the recruiter that the candidate is genuinely interested in the position and can also help build a relationship.

If you're waiting for a response from a recruiter, there are some strategies you can use to follow up and increase your chances of getting a response. First, send a tailored email that highlights your skills and experience and shows your enthusiasm for the position. Keep the message professional, brief, and easy to read.

It's important to remember that recruiters may not respond for various reasons, and it's not always a reflection of your qualifications or skills. However, by following up and showing interest, you can increase your chances of getting a response and potentially landing the job. Ultimately, job seekers should remain patient, persistent, and optimistic during their job search, knowing that recruiters are often busy and have many applicants to consider. Sincerest yours,
