Boggs, founder and CEO of D&S Executive Career Management, once had a candidate interviewing for a vice president-level role.
Stories of job-seekers making progress on their search, only to have the rug pulled out from under them later in the hiring process, have become all too common.
A majority of job-seekers say they've experienced "love-bombing" or been ghosted during the interview process for a new role, according to a recent survey of 2,900 global employees by Greenhouse, the hiring platform.
A similar share, 52%, say they've been ghosted in the hiring process, or had initial conversations, and in some cases made it to final rounds of interviews, only to never hear back from the recruiter or hiring manager about a decision.
"Because of that, it's leaving people in a really confusing spot and giving folks anxiety and questioning, frankly, their career and their sanity."
