Episode 80 : Ghosting: What to do When it Happens to You

From the Battlefield to the Boardroom

In the 2019 job market, chances are you’re familiar with the term ghosting. You’ve probably experienced at least one scenario where you’ve landed an interview, you do all of the necessary prep, you’ve completed the interview and sent a thank you note, only for the company to go silent. This situation is difficult to navigate because you’re likely wondering when you should reach out, how often, and what you should say. Mike Wood, Orion’s Southeast Recruiting Manager, joins the show to discuss his insight on ghosting and how candidates can try to combat it. Topics include: • The appropriate frequency to follow up • Preemptively asking about the next step during the interview • If/when to mention other opportunities you’re pursuing
