  1. Can You Ever Recover from an NCNS situation

Ghosting was a big topic in 2019 – both for employers and employees.  The term “no call, no show” (NCNS) is attributed to a person that doesn’t show up to an assigned place or time.  It is deemed as highly unprofessional and often can have repercussions beyond just that one day. We cover what to do it you make this colossal mistake in this blog.

  1. Out of Office Messages for any Occasion

From time to time on the blog we also like to share resources, like our thank you note example.  This blog included a link to an out of office message generator that we had way too much fun playing with. We are already dreaming of warmer weather, so we have a chance to use it again.

  1. How to Make sure your Social Media is Job Search Ready

Did you know that 70 percent of employers use social media to research potential employees?  In addition, 57 percent of employers found content that caused them not to hire a candidate.  That is why it’s so important to have your social media channels in tip top shape during your job search.  This is key for recent college grads (really any age!). We shared some tips and tricks on how to freshen up your online presence.

  1. Top Holiday Gifts

This blog was published way back in January and was a round-up of our favorite gifts we received for the holidays.  It was fun to be Oprah for a minute and reveal our favorite things! It’s funny how many of our staff got some of the items for the most recent holiday season (the air fryer is still a popular gift)!

  1. TGHR Souper Bowl

This blog is based on one of our most delicious days in the office – our own “Souper” Bowl! In honor of the Super Bowl we had an office pitch-in of different soups. This is our compilation of the soups we shared that day – yummy!

Don’t Get Spooked…The Why Behind Ghosting

It is said that time heals all wounds but ghosting still hurts no matter how long it has been.  Ghosting is not a new phenomenon, it has been around for decades and still leaves a sting. Why does ghosting hurt so much? Psychology Today points out that being rejected stimulates the same receptors as physical pain. Being “stood up” or ghosted makes a person question not only the other person, but also themselves.

So…why do people ghost and simply not show up without an explanation? It is a technique to avoid confrontation or seemly uncomfortable situations.  In addition, when people ghost they are thinking more about themselves and their situation than the other person.  This often happens when a person is job searching, especially in a tight job market with a qualified candidate.

Electronic forms of communication such as email, texting and even social media, has made ghosting even easier.  It is possible that a candidate’s interaction with a company has only been through email, which makes it easier for the person to ghost. One of the ways that TGHR can help is through our time-tested candidate screening process.  We meet in person with all the candidates that we present to you, which helps create that personal connection.

Do things still come up? Of course, but you do not need to be spooked – it is our problem, not yours.  We shoulder the responsibility so you can save your scares for Halloween. We will not ghost you – 20 years of staffing Indianapolis proves it!
