"Did They Ghost You?" turns interview silence into a public record

Did They Ghost You? is a web tool aimed at job seekers who go through an interview process and then hear nothing back — the increasingly common phenomenon of employer ghosting. Rather than leaving candidates to absorb the silence privately, the site frames post-interview non-response as a reportable behavior, letting applicants flag or call out companies that drop communication after engaging them.

The pitch taps into a broader shift in the tech hiring market, where power dynamics have made ghosting routine and candidates have little recourse or feedback. By moving these experiences into a shared, semi-public forum, the project pushes toward accountability and better hiring etiquette — the same reputational pressure that review sites apply to products and workplaces, aimed here at the interview stage specifically.

As presented, the site is essentially a landing page: the concept and target audience are clear, but the underlying mechanics — how reports are submitted and verified, whether named companies can respond, and how the data is moderated — aren’t spelled out. Those details matter, since a system built on naming employers raises obvious questions about accuracy, fairness, and the privacy of both candidates and the companies being reported.
