You Don’t Deserve to Be Ghosted: Bossjob Pushes for a More Human Job-Seeking Experience
 |
| Bossjob Takes a Stand Against Job-Application Ghosting |
We’ve all been there -- waiting by our phones or refreshing our inbox after an interview, wondering if the silence means rejection or just delay. That sinking feeling of being “ghosted” after giving your best in an application isn’t just frustrating -- it’s disheartening.
I’ve seen friends experience it. I’ve gone through it myself. It’s one of those unspoken struggles many jobseekers quietly carry -- the lack of closure that makes you question your worth.
That’s why when I got invited to the Bossjob Media Roundtable last October 25, 2025, at Manduca Taberna, One Ayala, the theme immediately struck a chord. Bossjob, an AI-powered career platform, is on a mission to challenge this very cycle by making job-hunting not just faster and smarter, but more human.
Making Job Hunting More Transparent and Human
During the discussion, Nonito Antonio Cuizon, Bossjob’s Branding and PR Manager, said:Every jobseeker deserves to be acknowledged,” Cuizon shared. “Ghosting hurts confidence and discourages talents who are eager to contribute. Our platform was built to eliminate that silence — to make job seeking feel like a real conversation again. Through constant feedback gathering, employer coordination, and continuous interaction with both sides, Bossjob will never leave anybody behind. We will ensure that the moment you create your AI-powered CV (AICV) with us, we will be right there with you every step of the way.
It was clear that Bossjob isn’t just another job site. It’s redefining the experience. With real-time notifications, a chat-based interface, automated status updates, and even human assistance, Bossjob bridges the gap that many platforms overlook: communication.
For once, jobseekers don’t have to feel like they’re sending their resumes into a void.
Facing the Ghosting Reality
Bossjob also shared findings from their internal study of 903 jobseekers -- and the results were eye-opening. Around 44% of respondents said they’ve been ghosted by potential employers. That’s almost half of the workforce left in silence after taking the time and effort to apply.This isn’t just a small inconvenience; it’s something that chips away at morale. And hearing this during the roundtable reminded me how vital it is to keep empathy at the center of recruitment.
By providing tools for direct messaging and real-time feedback, Bossjob is advocating for accountability ensuring both sides stay engaged in the process.
Turning Advocacy Into Action
To amplify the message, Bossjob launched a clever “Ghosting Stunt” -- a roaming “ghost” appearing across business districts. It was fun and lighthearted, but it carried a meaningful message: ghosting shouldn’t be normal.The stunt sparked conversations online and offline, reminding both jobseekers and employers that behind every unanswered message is a person waiting for respect and closure.
Beyond the visuals, it represented Bossjob’s mission -- empowering professionals to take charge of their careers while helping companies connect with the right talent faster through smarter, more conversational technology.
Empowering the Workforce of Today
As the discussion wrapped up, one thing became clear: the next generation of workers values speed, authenticity, and connection more than ever. Bossjob is leading that change -- showing that technology doesn’t have to remove the human touch.In fact, it can make the hiring process kinder.
That’s the kind of innovation that stays with you, not just because it’s smart, but because it’s empathetic. Because finally, there’s a platform reminding us: we don’t deserve silence -- we deserve to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.
