I haven't been ghosted much but I generally call companies before I apply for a job. It's a litmus test for me of how shit they are. No number to call or no person to talk to in person about the role then there is no point applying. Try it sometime. Only apply to jobs you can jump on the blower and speak to someone about. Completely disregard employers and employment firms that don't have a point of contact that results in a person. They aren't worth your time. Also question the person if they will get back to you. Legit put the onus on the company to not ghost you. Call them back after your application has been in for say a week past deadline. If the company your applying to can't handle all of that. Likelihood you will get ghosted during application is high. Not to mention their work environments probably toxic af if they can't manage to maintain basic manners and respect to their prospective employees. Apply the same when pushing for contract jobs or work of any form. Set the standards you want.
