Combating Candidate Ghosting in Pharmaceutical Recruitment
Prevent your dream candidates from disappearing mid-process with these targeted strategies.
In the UK pharmaceutical industry, candidate ghosting is costing recruiters valuable time and resources. According to REC research, 72% of recruitment professionals have experienced ghosting in the last year. But AI can help you reduce ghosting by up to 50%, making your hiring process more efficient and effective.
The Ghosting Challenge in Pharmaceutical Recruitment
Candidate ghosting is a significant issue in pharmaceutical recruitment, with roles like Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and Quality Control Chemists being particularly affected. The high demand for skilled professionals and the competitive nature of the industry can lead to candidates accepting multiple offers or simply disappearing without notice. This not only wastes time but also opens your organisation up to compliance risks.

Firstly, AI-powered chatbots can engage candidates throughout the process, answering queries and providing updates to keep them informed and involved.
