Welcome to The Great Vanishing Act, where we unpack one of the biggest mysteries in modern hiring: why top tech candidates are ghosting employers—and what you can actually do about it.

In this episode, we dive deep into the behavioral psychology of candidate ghosting, armed with insights from over 1,000 tech interviews, real-world hiring data, and front-line recruiter experiences. You’ll learn how outdated processes, poor communication, and slow decision-making are silently sabotaging your talent pipeline—especially for developers, engineers, and AI professionals juggling multiple offers.

Key stats you'll hear about:

• 61% of job seekers admit to ghosting employers
• 76% of recruiters were ghosted last year
• Tech roles saw a 48% spike in ghosting—more than any other industry
• 70% of candidates think ghosting is totally fair

But this isn’t about blaming a “rude generation.” It’s about understanding the new power dynamics in hiring—and how smart companies are rewriting the rules to build faster, fairer, more human recruiting systems that candidates want to engage with.

We’ll cover:

• The psychological triggers behind candidate ghosting
• What the best companies do to avoid being ghosted
