Tackling Candidate Ghosting in Manufacturing Recruitment
Discover why candidates disappear and how AI can help you keep them engaged throughout the process.
Did you know that over 50% of manufacturing roles remain unfilled due to candidate ghosting? This not only impacts your fill rates but also leads to costly resourcing errors. Discover how AI can help you stay connected with candidates and overcome this challenge in manufacturing recruitment.
The Ghosting Phenomenon in Manufacturing Recruitment
Candidate ghosting is a growing concern across all industries, including manufacturing. According to REC research, over half of employers have experienced ghosting from candidates during the application process. In manufacturing, where skilled labour is in short supply, this can lead to prolonged vacancies and increased competition for talent.
