A site lets job seekers report companies that ghost them after interviews.

Did They Ghost You? is an anonymous, moderated public record of companies that stop responding after interviews. It has 709 approved reports. A leaderboard shows the most reported companies, and a separate list highlights good communicators. The site does not ask for candidate names; each report is reviewed by a moderator before it affects a company's count. Companies can dispute reports.

What commenters are saying

Commenters debate whether the site is vibe-coded based on its emoji button usage and font. One person questions a link to Robert Half that goes to a Google ad URL instead of the company's site. A top-ranked comment argues that many job ads are fraudulent and should be treated as felony fraud, with a specific proposal for mandatory reporting of hiring outcomes to the state. Another commenter notes that ghosting is rare in the EU after a company responds, though an EU-based user counters that ghosting happens even after multiple interview rounds, and suggests it may stem from liability concerns.
