Ghosted by Your Employer: The Emotional Toll of Being Left in the Dark
The practice of ghosting has become alarmingly common in professional settings, and the corporate world is not immune to this issue. Ghosting refers to the act of abruptly cutting off communication without explanation, leaving the recipient feeling puzzled, frustrated, and emotionally drained. The impact of ghosting can be significant, causing losses in terms of time, energy, and even money for businesses.
The Impact of Ghosting
Ghosts can be found at all levels of a corporation, from job applicants to potential investors. The emotional toll of being ghosted can be devastating, leaving individuals questioning their self-worth and feeling rejected. According to The New York Times, employers who practice ghosting risk ruining their reputation as well as the professional experiences of those who have been ghosted.
Ghosting can have various consequences for businesses. It leads to a prolonged hiring process, as candidates often need to reapply or companies must restart the search from scratch. Lost productivity is another issue, as employees who have been ghosted may lose motivation or even leave the company. According to a survey conducted by Business Insider, 46% of job seekers have abandoned a job offer due to being ghosted by an employer.
The Offer Ghosting Platform
To address the challenges of ghosting, Sumeru Digital has developed the Offer Ghosting Platform. This blockchain-based solution utilizes Hyperledger Fabric to provide a transparent and secure environment for employers and job seekers. Through the platform, businesses can report instances of candidate ghosting, find candidates’ trust scores, and view their history on the blockchain.
“Report Candidate Ghosting” allows employers to document instances of ghosting, creating a record that can be accessed by other businesses. This encourages accountability and discourages job applicants from continually ghosting potential employers.
“Find Candidates Trust Score” is a feature that leverages blockchain technology to assess a candidate’s trustworthiness. By considering their past interactions and feedback from employers, businesses can make more informed decisions during the hiring process.
“View Candidate History on Blockchain” provides employers with access to a comprehensive overview of an individual’s professional history. This increases transparency and helps ensure that employers align with candidates who have previously demonstrated commitment and professionalism.
