GhostCheck

Why This is an Opportunity

Candidate ghosting is the #1 complaint in hiring right now and no ATS handles it well because they're all built around process, not human behavior. The build is elegant — email sends via Resend, one-click responses, and a Kanban-style board.

Key Pain Points

  • You hold a role open for weeks waiting on a candidate who was never going to respond
  • Recruiters manually chase candidates with awkward 'just checking in' emails
  • You can't tell if a candidate is slow to respond because they're busy or because they took another offer
  • ATS tools track pipeline stages but give you zero signal on actual candidate enthusiasm

Original Discovery

Hiring managers and recruiters send interview invites and then enter a black hole — did the candidate see it? Are they ghosting or just busy? GhostCheck is a dead-simple candidate pulse tool. After each interview round, it sends the candidate a one-click 'still interested?' check-in (literally one button). Hiring managers get a live board showing who's engaged, who's cooling off, and who's ghosted. No ATS, no bloat — just signal.
