• The issue of ghosting is a result of a lack of regulation in the job market, and more laws are needed to protect job seekers.
• Implementing laws to prevent ghosting would be ineffective and could lead to companies finding ways to circumvent them.
• A more effective approach would be to shame companies that ghost applicants, rather than relying on laws and regulations.
