🚫 Ghosting Is So 2020: Break This Bad Hiring Habit 🚫

You know what’s worse than a bad date? A bad hiring experience. 

Sure, it’s tempting to move on in silence when you’re juggling a dozen other priorities, but here’s the hard truth: ghosting isn’t just bad manners—it’s a brand killer.

💡 Reframe ghosting as the ultimate reputation killer. 💡

When you leave candidates hanging, word spreads fast—especially in tight-knit industries like industrial sales.

💥 Action Steps 💥

1⃣ Send a Simple “Thanks but No Thanks” Email

Even if someone isn’t the right fit, a two-sentence rejection email shows professionalism and respect. A simple rejection email goes a long way to maintaining goodwill.

2⃣ Set Expectations: Outline the hiring process timeline and stick to it. If there’s a delay, tell the candidate!

👊 Pro Tip: Candidates who feel respected—even if they don’t land the job—become brand ambassadors for your company. And who doesn’t want free PR?

If you’re ready to leave ghosting (and other bad habits) in the past but don’t have the time or resources to revamp your process, I can help.
