"Gen Z Job Seekers: The Rise of Interview Ghosting and No-Show First Days"

A survey by employment website Indeed reveals that job ghosting, where candidates ignore interviews or fail to show up for their first day of work, is prevalent, with 93% of Gen Zers admitting to flaking out of interviews and 87% leaving employers stranded on the first day. This behavior is attributed to a desire to feel in charge of their careers, exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. Employers are advised to sweeten the deal with higher pay and better benefits to prevent job ghosting, as financial considerations play a significant role in candidates' decisions.
