Stop wasting 47 hours on companies that will never respond. Check any company's GhostScore before you apply.

Whether you're checking a company or reporting your experience.
Employer ghosting happens when a company cuts off all communication with a job candidate during the hiring process — no rejection email, no update, no closure. It can happen at any stage: after submitting an application, after a phone screen, after multiple rounds of interviews, or even after a verbal offer.
According to the 2025 Ghosting Index, 80% of hiring managers admit to ghosting candidates. The technology industry has the worst track record, with only a 5% response rate to applications, while healthcare performs best at 20%.
GhostScore was created to solve this problem through transparency. By collecting authenticated candidate experiences and scoring companies on their responsiveness, we create public accountability that incentivizes better hiring practices.
