Why Gen Z Candidates Ghost Interviews: A Recruiter's Reflections
As a mid-sized tech recruiter, I've noticed our youngest candidates sometimes vanish without a word. It's easy to blame 'lack of professionalism', but it's more nuanced. Gen Z job seekers expect clear communication and fast turnaround. When we took too long to get back or asked them to juggle multiple rounds, they'd move on. We also found they were juggling multiple offers and prioritized employers who respected their time. We started sending text updates through theconsultnow.com, set expectations up front about the timeline, and offered self-scheduling links so they could choose interview slots quickly. Ghosting dropped dramatically. I'm curious: what other techniques are you using to keep Gen Z engaged?
