Searching for a job takes time, energy, and commitment. Too often, candidates submit applications, attend interviews, and never hear back from employers. This practice—commonly known as "ghosting"—has become one of the biggest frustrations in modern hiring.
At healthcareers.app, we believe healthcare professionals deserve respect, transparency, and communication throughout the hiring process.
That is why we created the healthcareers.app No-Ghosting Policy™.
Our platform requires employers to engage responsibly with candidates and provide timely updates when someone applies for a position.
Employers who post jobs on healthcareers.app agree to follow a simple standard:
Candidates deserve a response.
This means employers must actively manage applications and provide updates to applicants within a reasonable timeframe.
Employers using healthcareers.app agree to the following requirements.
Employers must review incoming applications and provide a status update to candidates within 7–10 days whenever possible.
Acceptable status updates include:
This ensures candidates are not left wondering whether their application was ever seen.
All job postings must represent real, open positions that employers intend to fill.
Employers may not post jobs for the purpose of:
When a position has been filled or is no longer available, employers must close the listing promptly.
This prevents candidates from applying to roles that are no longer open.
Employers are expected to maintain a professional level of communication with candidates throughout the hiring process.
Even when candidates are not selected, a simple status update shows professionalism and respect.
To support the No-Ghosting Policy™, our platform includes systems designed to encourage responsible hiring practices.
These may include:
Employers who consistently fail to engage with candidates may have their listings limited or removed from the platform.
If you believe an employer has violated the healthcareers.app No-Ghosting Policy™, you may report the issue through our platform.
Examples include:
Our team reviews reports and may take action to ensure the integrity of the platform.
Healthcare workers dedicate their careers to helping others. The hiring process should reflect the same level of professionalism and respect.
