"Gen Z: The Ghosting Generation in the Workplace"

Gen Z workers are increasingly ghosting potential employers, with 93% admitting to skipping out on interviews and 87% not showing up for their first day of work. This behavior is causing hiring difficulties for businesses, with over half reporting challenges due to ghosting. While Gen Z is the main culprit, other generations also engage in ghosting, but with more regret. The data suggests that higher pay and better benefits could help prevent ghosting, as the cost of living crisis exacerbates the issue. Employers are advised to be transparent about financial packages to prevent jobseekers from ghosting further along the hiring process.
