Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Most every job seeker has, at some point, either applied to or interviewed for a position only to be met by radio silence. Follow-up emails go unanswered, and the once-promising opportunity vanishes into the void. A few years ago, this might simply have been called part of the job hunt. Today, this disappearing act is referred to as “ghosting,” and it’s a practice that’s becoming more prevalent among applicants. Now the tables have turned. It’s employees who more and more often are ghosting employers. With the unemployment rate at a low 3.5%, job seekers are optimistic about the job market, so much so that 28% of job seekers have backed out of an offer after accepting it, with 44% of those doing so for another, more attractive proposition, according to a study. If multiple companies are pursuing one candidate, he or she may accept the first offer, set a start date and then receive and accept a second offer without letting the first company know. Research from Indeed found that of the 83% of employers who report having been ghosted, 65% say the candidate accepted their offer but failed to show up on day one. Some 27% ceased communication after getting a counteroffer from their current employer and 19% after hearing negative feedback about the company. And job seekers aren’t only ghosting employers after accepting offers, says McDonald, who has first-hand experience with this phenomenon. Some are bailing on interviews, while others are completing several rounds of interviews before shutting down the lines of communication. How can employers avoid this fate? McDonald advises that companies stay in constant communication with candidates to minimize the likelihood of them being a no-show. Once they accept, hiring managers should continue correspondence, whether through emails, texts, phone calls or even in-person meetings. At the end of the day, though, it’s really up to the candidates. While Indeed found that 94% of job seekers who have ghosted say they’ve not experienced many, if any, negative repercussions, McDonald says it’s only a matter of time before their actions catch up to them. Once job seekers ghost, they burn bridges, ones that can be challenging to repair, and with every future job search will come the chance of running into someone from their past. He advises that candidates who are no longer interested in pursuing opportunities communicate that to hiring managers, whether in the form of an email or a phone call. When the average cost-per-hire is $4,425, the sooner, the better.

Which of the following statements is NOT true with respect to the passage?
Out of 83 percent of the employers who were ghosted, research from Indeed found that 35% of the candidates who accepted their offer and showed up on day one.
A person who is ghosting after accepting the job keep in touch in the form of an email or a phone call.
6 percent of the job seekers who have ghosted might have faced negative repercussions.
Companies can avoid ghosting of employees by using their hiring managers to be in constant touch with the employee whether through emails, texts, phone calls or even in-person meetings.
According to the passage, since the unemployment rate is low, it gives more power to employees when it comes to selecting a job.
Option A is true as the passage states: “. Research from Indeed found that of the 83% of employers who report having been ghosted, 65% say the candidate accepted their offer but failed to show up on day one.” Option C is true as: “…Indeed found that 94% of job seekers who have ghosted say they’ve not experienced many, if any, negative repercussions.” Option D is true as: “McDonald advises that companies stay in constant communication with candidates to minimize the likelihood of them being a no-show. Once they accept, hiring managers should continue correspondence, whether through emails, texts, phone calls or even in-person meetings.” Option E is true as the passage states: “With the unemployment rate at a low 3.5%, job seekers are optimistic about the job market,” The only statement which is false here is option B as ‘ghosting’ means complete disconnection from the employer. Thus, it is not true and the correct answer.
