Anti-ghosting: give feedback to every applicant

Ghosting hurts the brand and the candidate experience. How to give every applicant respectful feedback without it taking all your time, with the human in the loop.

Short answer

Anti-ghosting means every applicant gets a reply, not just those who move on. With AI, feedback can be suggested from your templates and sent after a human approves. It protects the employer brand and keeps the door open for future roles.

Why ghosting costs more than it shows

Many teams reply to only a fraction of their applicants. It is understandable when time is short, but it costs. Studies show a large share of candidates stay as customers and advocates if they have a good experience, even when rejected.

How to reply to everyone without drowning

  • The platform suggests feedback based on the role and your own templates.
  • The recruiter reviews and approves. Nothing is sent in silence.
  • Nothing is sent without a human saying yes.
  • Time per reply goes from manual writing to review.

The human stays in the loop

Automatic feedback does not mean automatic decisions. In Week 29 the approval is an active human step, and the approval, the template and the timestamp are logged for documentation under GDPR and the EU AI Act.
