Leah Lambart: Seek career coach explains why prospective employers frequently ghost jobseekers - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Jobseekers being ghosted by prospective employers- are often down to the company itself.

New Seek data shows 72 percent of Kiwi jobseekers don't hear back about the job they've been interviewed for.

Seek career coach Leah Lambart says it happens for a number of reasons, like the company choosing not to inform the candidate isn't the right fit.

She says it may also be down to an internal issue in the company that takes precedence.

"It could be no hurry to recruit that role- and as a result, it gets put on the backburner because there's some other vacancies that come up that are perhaps more urgent."
