And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don’t want to work?
As a state run List / database, this is pretty much inherently evil
As an industry group, it sounds like a great idea IMO. As a hiring manager with limited hours in the day, the percentage of recent college grads who either ghost the interview or – 100x worse – literally ghost the job and never show or take another offer after accepting mine … I mostly just want to blacklist the asshat so they don’t continue fucking over other honest hard working people
Ah yes, “nobody wants to work anymore, and I know that because these entitled college grads decided to work a different job instead of the shitty one I offered them.”
If people are going through the effort to take an interview (usually multiple rounds) and go all the way through the process until an offer is made and then still don’t accept the job, then that is 50% on the hiring manager not being upfront about working conditions, pay, and other benefits throughout the process and 50% on the company for not offering adequate pay and benefits that match the work. This is 0% on the person who had their time wasted by the interview process. They were obviously worth more than what they were offered as evidenced by receiving a better offer somewhere else.
I don’t think that people need to go to a job interview if they don’t intend to take a job — that’s wasting their time and that of the interviewers.
But that’s not what the parent comment is talking about. He’s talking about no-shows. Someone schedules an interview and then just never shows up.
I think that it’s pretty unreasonable to just no-show a job interview if you don’t want the job. Call and cancel.
People who are interviewing are going to organize their day around interviewing you. It dicks with them to leave that block allocated.
When he’s taking about ghosting the job, he’s not saying that people should be obligated to not take another, preferable offer. He’s saying that they never tell him that they’re doing so after telling him that they’re accepting his offer. Call and at least tell them that you’re pulling out.
I am getting downvoted to hell and shouldn’t give these people the pleasure of knowing this but…
I have multiple times missed time with my wife and children because I wanted to get an important job filled by someone I was excited to hire. Who ghosted me.
And I am saying, people who casually waste other’s time and goodwill, should have a reputation that catches up with them, sooner rather than later, for the good of all.
What the fuck is wrong with people that I am the bad guy here, seriously
Missing time with your family for work is an awful precedent to set. A lot of people don’t give a shit about their work and don’t care to let it take away from their life.
If I am interviewing, I’m going in with the mindset that I am selling my body/mind to the highest bidder for 8 hours a day, every day, for the foreseeable future. Any time outside of that, I am not thinking about the employer at all. If you and your company aren’t the highest bidder, you aren’t worth my time.
You sound transactional. Maybe you’ll be President
