Why applicants think Dave ghosts them

"Ghosting" means applying and never hearing back โ€” no rejection, no update, nothing. It's the single most common complaint on Reddit threads about Dave. Dave's reported response rate is 43%, so a meaningful share of applicants never get a reply. Common reasons: roles filled internally, listings left open after closing, or high applicant volume that outpaces recruiting capacity.
