Have you ever ghosted a candidate? You may not even realize if you have. Almost every candidate who’s tried to find a job in today’s fast-paced market has been ghosted by a recruiter. On the employers' side, nearly every recruiter has been too busy with other tasks to be able to dedicate time to engage every unsuitable candidate and explain why.
 


Forget about sending personalized communication for a minute. It’s rare that most candidates even receive an automated rejection email. Sixty five percent of job seekers say they never or rarely receive even an automated rejection notice from employers. 

Featured on the cover this month is Vinita Venkatesh's Stop ‘Ghosting' Candidates, where she talks about why ghosting damages your candidate experience and how conversational AI can help you offer consistent and near-human communication to candidates.

Most American companies still lag in hiring, creating and encouraging diverse workforces. This is true for both traditional measures of diversity - gender, religion, race and ethnicity – as well as broader and less tangible measures such as diversity of thought, background and experience. A glance at the gender gap shows that even the largest of U.S. companies are still behind, as women are hired far less often for entry-level positions and are even more poorly represented on the climb up the career ladder. 

In Diverse Workforces Generate Favorable Results For U.S. Companies, Vladimir Sidorenko points out why employers should take steps to encourage a diverse workforce that reflects the country’s changing demographics in order to drive engagement and inclusion. 

Moving on there is Caroline Stokes' Reinventing The Recruiter With AI And EI that tells us how with the advent of AI, recruiters are now free to focus on their emotional intelligence and build the human-centered piece of the job.
