The Recruitment Black Hole
In a candidate's market, speed isn't just about hiring; it's about respect. The #1 complaint from job seekers is "ghosting"—the silence that follows a resume submission. When a candidate spends an hour tailoring their application only to hear nothing for three weeks, your employer brand takes a massive hit on platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn.
