It’s worth it to put all your effort into communicating effectively with your recruiter or anyone for that matter. The term ghosting is very popular in today’s digital age; it seems to be the norm to ignore rather than face all of your communication with respect. You have likely experienced ghosting during a job search, dating, or even with your friends. It probably left you with less than favorable opinion of the company or person who did it. That’s why it is essential to understand why it’s critical not to ghost your recruiter.

For example, not answering critical questions about your career goals, not responding to interview offers, or not showing up for the interview. These are all examples of ghosting in the context of a job search. Below you will find the top 3 reasons why not to ghost recruiters or anyone.
