According to JobVite Research, more than half of recruiters have been ghosted AFTER a candidate accepted an offer. Unfathomable! It’s happened more in larger companies (61%) than smaller companies (51%). But should that EVER happen? Maybe if a candidate is under extreme duress but that likely only accounts for a very small percentage.
Some Friendly Advice…
Know Before You Go
Determine exactly what it will take for you to change jobs BEFORE you explore.
Professionals Don’t Ghost
ALWAYS communicate if you change your mind or get a better offer.
Do Your Homework
Calculated risks are healthy; Impulsive risks can be problematic.
Consult Your Decision
Talk through your decision with family/friends.
No Obligation
Just because you get an offer, doesn’t mean you should take it or that you are wrong for rejecting it – has to work for BOTH sides.
