Recent graduates face rescinded offers and ghosting amid AI hiring
Landing a job after graduation is tougher than ever right now.
According to Resume Builder, 34% of recent grads have had their job offers pulled, and more than two-thirds say they've been ghosted by employers after interviews.
The rise of AI in hiring isn't making things any easier.
Overhiring and buggy tech confuse grads
AI tools are now screening tons of applications, but they often miss out on good candidates, sometimes even tossing out qualified folks by mistake.
Stacie Haller, chief career adviser at Resume Builder, calls the trend of rescinded offers and ghosting "Having an offer withdrawn without explanation is unacceptable, and experiencing it more than once is incredibly discouraging," for those just starting out.
Overhiring during the pandemic and buggy tech have only added to the confusion, leaving many grads feeling lost in the process.
