GhostNot for Recruiters
Stop losing interview slots to candidate no-shows.
Every ghosted interview delays a hire and wastes panel time. GhostNot ensures candidates commit before they book.
Recruiting teams lose an average of 5-8 hours per week to candidate no-shows. That's interviewers sitting idle, hiring timelines slipping, and coordination effort wasted. GhostNot adds a small, fully refundable commitment to your scheduling flow. Candidates who attend pay nothing. But the ones who would have ghosted? They either show up or self-select out before wasting your panel's time.

Built for how recruiters work
Pipeline-stage staking
Set different commitment levels by interview round. Skip the stake for initial phone screens, add a small commitment for technical interviews, and require more for final rounds where no-shows waste entire panels of senior engineers or executives.
Candidate commitment signals
A candidate willing to stake on an interview is signaling genuine interest in the role. Use GhostNot as a soft qualification layer — not to penalize candidates, but to identify the ones who are truly engaged in your process.
Panel time recovery
When a candidate no-shows a panel interview, you're not losing one person's time — you're losing three or four. GhostNot's stakes scale with the cost of the meeting, protecting your team's most expensive interview formats.
ATS-friendly scheduling links
Generate unique GhostNot booking links for each role or requisition. Share them through your ATS, email sequences, or recruiter outreach. Candidates complete the commitment step inline — no app downloads or account creation required.

Frequently asked questions
Won't candidates think it's unprofessional to ask for a stake?
Context matters. GhostNot frames the stake as a mutual commitment — the company is reserving interviewer time, and the candidate is confirming they'll be there. The stake is fully refunded on attendance, so it costs serious candidates nothing. The design ensures top candidates see it as a signal that the company values everyone's time, including theirs.
What about candidates who can't afford even a small stake?
You have full control over stake amounts and can set them as low as $5 — enough to create psychological commitment without financial burden. You can also waive stakes entirely for specific candidates, referral sources, or diversity recruiting pipelines. The goal is commitment, not a financial barrier.
How does this integrate with our existing ATS and scheduling tools?
GhostNot provides embeddable widgets and shareable links that work alongside Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and other major ATS platforms. You add the GhostNot commitment step to your existing scheduling flow — candidates see your available slots and complete the stake in one seamless experience.
Can we use GhostNot for internal meetings too, or just candidate interviews?
While GhostNot is designed for external meetings where you have less control over the other party's commitment, some recruiting teams also use it for external vendor meetings, agency check-ins, and hiring manager syncs that frequently get ghosted. Any meeting where no-shows are a recurring problem is a good fit.
