It's really a sad state of affairs in the labor market. Ghosting after an interview or even recruitment conversation was not the norm before. To some degree ghosting before was at least less common, most businesses had boiler plate responses that you didn't pass the first filter they'd send out. After an interview it was expected to hear a timely response. At the very least, inform you the process is taking longer than expected, a decline, or an offer. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 10 years we see more ghosting on actual interviews. It's just plain bad business behavior to not follow through with easy scheduling commitments like a person to person meeting. I've missed a handful of meetings I didn't reschedule prior in my entire career and all of them were emergencies (car accidents, transport issues, rushing to a hospital for a loved one, etc.) I can distinctively remember each of them. Employee and employer relationships have always been a bit like the current culture of dating but businesses usually were the more courteous of the two relationship cultures. Now it appears ghosting people from the dating world has moved full pace into the business culture, not showing up for dates and all.
