"More than half of job seekers, 53%, experienced ghosting in the past year, hitting a three-year high, according to a new report from pre-employment testing company Criteria."

Job seekers are increasingly experiencing ghosting, with 53% reporting this issue in the past year, a three-year high.

This situation leads to unreliable screening methods and poor communication.
