Recruiter time wasted
Hiring team time wasted
Pro tip:
Track ghosting by stage (pre-screen, post-interview, post-offer). The later it happens, the more it costs — and the easier it is to justify process changes.
Ghosting Cost Calculator (for recruiters)
Candidate ghosting isn’t just frustrating — it’s expensive.
Use this calculator to estimate the impact across:
- Recruiter time wasted on sourcing, scheduling, and follow-ups
- Hiring team time wasted on interviews that never convert
- Vacancy delay cost from slower time-to-fill
What you’ll get
- Direct time cost (recruiter + hiring team)
- Vacancy delay cost (optional — based on extra days to fill)
- Total estimated cost for the affected roles
This is an estimate, not a guarantee — but it’s often directionally accurate enough to justify process improvements.
