Every candidate has been there. We have sent out dozens if not hundreds of job applications, patiently waiting for a response from the company or a hiring manager, only to never hear back. In the mind of a candidate, being ‘ghosted’, or never being responded to, is quite possibly the most frustrating and disheartening part of the hiring process. Being ghosted can be more dispiriting or demoralizing than receiving a rejection letter after thinking you should have had a job offer.

What JobCommander does better than anyone else is that you know exactly where you stand every step of the hiring process. JobCommander knew the struggles a candidate faces during the hiring process, especially being ghosted. The beauty about JobCommander is that you know where you statistically stack up against an employer, to knowing when your application is received, to scheduling interviews on our platform, and receiving instant responses from employers.

Employers! Stop not responding to candidates. Even if the candidate falls very short in meeting your needs, minimum requirements, or job qualifications, a candidate would rather hear “No thank you” than be ghosted. Something as simple as a quick rejection email is better than a candidate feeling helpless, endlessly and patiently waiting for a response from the hiring manager or employer. JobCommander can help you keep track of your applications so that you avoid leaving candidates on “Unread”.

A rejection letter, although still painful, is better than being ghosted for a few reasons. In the eyes of a candidate, a rejection letter or email can push the candidate to do better next time, it can show the candidate what they need to improve on, and doesn’t leave them wondering “what if’.
