I think most job seekers would simply appreciate a "no thank you" response and not get ghosted.

Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common to just go silent on candidates. What a cowardly thing to do.

Yeah I've had two companies just blatantly ghost me rather than reject me outright. I already had a bad feeling talking to them, I'm glad they proved me right and didn't waste my time.

It's a good indicator. You really don't want to work for and with cowards. The communication at work will make you feel like you're pulling teeth every time you need to get access to a resource or to get feedback on your work.

If they can't even do an interview right, imagine how toxic it must be working for them.
