It is ridiculous that employers, large companies, small businesses, it doesn’t matter. It’s ridiculous that you joking job hunters after complaining about job hunters asking you.
10 Error Companies Make With Your Employment Process
I was talking to someone today who had one last interview at a big company a few weeks ago. I know many companies complain about job hunters or hiring to haunt them. But what do you think you are doing when you are not communicating a yay or a no to an employee or potential rent, should I say?
The answer is that you haunt them. What you are doing is to be rude. You are ridiculous, in exactly the same way you complain of job hunters.
Now the guy I train is a decent guy. He has been there three, four times, maybe five, six people. Told him he’s in a final. He is doing well! “Go through this round, you have an offer.” And now you haunt him. Some will call it, “to get dark.” But the reality is that you make the business version of ghosting. What is the message you say about how to treat people if they are on board when you do such a thing?
It’s really very simple. If you want to reject someone, you send them a quick e -mail. Have a signature file in place that basically says something with the effect of “We were very impressed with your credentials, but I have chosen to go in a different direction. I appreciate that you get time for us and in the future, we can reach you out to other options. “
