In a curious demonstration of sympathy, a recruiter sided online with the candidates who "ghost" them. The Reddit post, from a recruiter at a boutique firm, describes a “new trend” of candidates disappearing after a positive phone screen. But instead of blaming the job seekers, the recruiter points the finger squarely at the companies conjuring the hiring nightmares.
The sentiment clearly resonated, as their post amassed over 7,000 upvotes and nearly 300 comments of agreement and commiseration in the r/recruiting subreddit.
