I built https://ghostedd.com/ so that candidates can "do something" about getting ghosted as I, personally, feel powerless whenever I get ghosted and sending follow ups can get annoying. I'm not sure why a website like this hasn't been built yet but I hope this website will thrive and alert companies that it's not cool to ghost. I also hope that it'll give future candidates peace of mind when it comes to thinking if they've been ghosted or not. I plan on making this project open source too for transparency if there's enough people who are interested in contributing. It's time to hold recruiters/companies accountable.

This platform is going to make a big difference for job seekers. We deserve better treatment from comapnies
So helpful to see ghosting rates before applying somewhere. gives candidates a heads up on what to expect
Why don't you integrate with platforms like LinkedIn, it will help you to verify if the report which user did file is genuine or not. Also it's availability will be higher for users.
Congrats on the launch! I absolutely love this! As a Freelancer, I contact companies and recruiters all the time. I get ghosted so often, even when they contact me directly. I will share this with everyone I know!
I have been getting ghosted a lot recently and it is super disheartening, especially when you want feedback to know what you are doing wrong. Hopefully some accountability will give companies more incentive to actually respond, even if it is just to say: "Hey, ya didn't get the job and we had too many applications to give personal feedback." Even that is more acceptable than radio silence!
Being ghosted is a real source of frustration. It feels validated to have a place to report it.
Love this! This is one way that job seekers can have some dignity and power by letting others know which companies ghosted them! What are some ways to verify the user isn't lying about their story though? @mookentooken
Accountability when it comes to job hunting is a real issue - lots of people I know have gone through multiple stages of interview, with test tasks, only to be ghosted without feedback. It's about time there's a way to keep companies and recruiters accountable!
Like your motivation. I also find being ghosted by companies annoying when I was looking for my first job several years ago. I got used to it but never thought of a tool to help me out. This one is brilliant! But how do you manage to predict the "ghosting" action? How would you know?
Interesting idea, but I don't understand what kind of ghosting this is for. Is it for follow-ups after interviews? Ghosting after cold emailing companies? Or for when customer support tickets are ignored? Would be helpful to know which scenarios this covers.
A feature that predicts when a lead is about to ghost could be a game-changer. I’d love to see future updates tackle that aspect as well.
