Improving Communication in Hiring

This episode explores why ghosting has become one of the biggest frustrations in today's hiring process and what employers, recruiters, and job seekers can do to improve communication. You will learn how AI is changing recruiting, why candidate experience matters more than ever, and how networking and community support can help job seekers navigate an increasingly disconnected hiring landscape.
