Submitters provide the company name, the dates they applied and last heard back, the stage of the process at which communication stopped, and a description of what happened. Meyer reviews every submission himself before it is published. The site also lets applicants recognize employers who keep candidates informed throughout the process, even when they do not extend an offer.


Meyer says he hopes the site encourages employers, particularly small businesses, to examine why candidates are left without answers and to address it. He acknowledges he does not have a ready solution to the problem, but says greater transparency is a start.


The volume of reports reflects a widely reported trend. Surveys consistently find that roughly half of job seekers have been ghosted by a prospective employer, and some put the share who were ghosted after an interview even higher.
