For years, one of the biggest frustrations for job seekers has been clicking on a vacancy that looks perfect, only to find the salary listed as "competitive" or not mentioned at all. With increasing discussion around salary transparency and growing pressure on employers to be more open about pay, the conversation is changing.

Today, interviews are no longer just about assessing candidates; they’re a critical opportunity to sell your organisation.

The instinctive reaction is frustration. Unprofessional. Disrespectful. A waste of time. But here’s the uncomfortable truth most businesses don’t want to hear: Candidates rarely ghost out of nowhere. More often than not, they feel ghosted first.
