Getting Ghostedd

You’re looking for a new job. You sift through endless ads, and get told to customise your resume and cover letter for every single application, and if you’re lucky you’ll get through to a human being and be interviewed. The interview happens and they tell you they’ll let you know whether you’ll be progressing in the next week or so. But you never hear from them again, even with polite follow-ups. You’ve been ghosted.

It’s an incredibly frustrating experience that still happens despite the ease of automated rejection e-mails. And one man decided to create a website to push back against this experience. Ghostedd.com allows people to write about their experiences of making it to a job interview and never hearing anything back. It aims to tilt the balance of job hunting back in favour of jobseekers and inspire employers to do better. To tell us all about Ghostedd.com, the Wednesday Daily was joined by its creator, Ric.
