Ah yes, "nobody wants to work anymore, and I know that because these entitled college grads decided to work a different job instead of the shitty one I offered them."
If people are going through the effort to take an interview (usually multiple rounds) and go all the way through the process until an offer is made and then still don't accept the job, then that is 50% on the hiring manager not being upfront about working conditions, pay, and other benefits throughout the process and 50% on the company for not offering adequate pay and benefits that match the work. This is 0% on the person who had their time wasted by the interview process. They were obviously worth more than what they were offered as evidenced by receiving a better offer somewhere else.
I don't think that people need to go to a job interview if they don't intend to take a job
that's wasting their time and that of the interviewers.
But that's not what the parent comment is talking about. He's talking about no-shows. Someone schedules an interview and then just never shows up.
I think that it's pretty unreasonable to just no-show a job interview if you don't want the job. Call and cancel.
People who are interviewing are going to organize their day around interviewing you. It dicks with them to leave that block allocated.
When he's taking about ghosting the job, he's not saying that people should be obligated to not take another, preferable offer. He's saying that they never tell him that they're doing so after telling him that they're accepting his offer. Call and at least tell them that you're pulling out.
So here is the problem I think.
In a sane world, you would put up a job ad, 5 people with relevant skills apply, you interview them and select one. If I'm a candidate, I'd have to send in 5 applications to 5 companies, and do an interview with each to find a job.
But then recruiters today won't even start interviewing with 5 candidates applying, they wait until at least like 100, of which they will call in like 20. So the company needs to do 20 interviews, I as an applicant have to do 20 interviews, and write 100 applications on average.
But since most places won't call me in, even if I'm qualified, since they will wait until an arbitrary number of applications and then won't call in everyone qualified, I need to send in as many applications as I can since I need to pay the bills next month, so all companies will receive hundreds of not-really-qualified job applications as well.
Then again, companies want to simplify the problem from their side, so they automate resume checks. This errs on the side of false negatives, since there is barely any cost to filtering out a good candidate versus not filtering out a bad one. Then, when recruiters realise they don't have to check applications by hand anymore, they increase the arbitrary "no interviews under 100 applications" number to 1000 or 2000 or whatever, the more the better, right?
And then add AI checks, AI applications, malicious companies advertising with no actual job just to "check the market", staffing companies making fake applications to flood the market and make it impossible for companies to hire from outside them, and other shit.
You end up with people submitting dozens if not hundreds of applications per day, for months, and they will of course not be able to even keep track of each application and each interview. Imagine you've been ghosted 2000 times over 6 months. Would you make sure you don't do the same to some recruiter that will statistically most likely ghost you anyway? Or fuck off, clear your calendar and be happy that you're done with this shit?
Calendars? It's no different from scheduling anything else. Meetings, social events, doctors appointments, etc, everything goes in a calendar. Whether there's 5 items or 5000, it works the same way.
Yeah, but then do you send off 5000 emails? What if the only contact is through a per-company Workday account, Whatsapp, Linkedin, whatever?
And again, you've just been ghosted by hundreds of people, so that set the expectations the other way.
In what world will you have 5000 job interviews scheduled? Most people only manage to get up to five at a time if they're lucky.
