Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Gary Meyer launched a website where job seekers can report being ghosted by employers, and thousands of frustrated candidates have submitted accounts of companies that stopped responding during the hiring process. The site gives applicants a shared outlet to name employers and compare experiences, addressing a practice that candidates widely describe as frustrating and demoralizing. The platform’s traction highlights growing scrutiny of hiring transparency and employer treatment of applicants. What to watch next is whether the reports prompt companies to change their candidate-communication practices or face reputational pressure.
