#CulturePH - Ghosted by Employers? Here’s How Bossjob Is Bringing Humanity Back to Job Hunting
Job hunting can sometimes feel like dating in the age of social media. You put yourself out there, polish your profile, send out applications, maybe even go on a promising interview or two… and then, silence. No feedback, no closure, just the digital equivalent of being left on “seen.” If you’ve ever felt that sting, you’re definitely not alone.
I recently came across something that made me do a double take: Bossjob, an AI-powered career platform, is on a mission to end job application ghosting for good. And honestly, it’s about time someone did.
At a recent media roundtable, Bossjob’s team talked about how they’re making job hunting faster, more transparent, and—most importantly—more human. Their platform is packed with features that sound like a dream for anyone tired of being left in the dark: real-time notifications from employers, a direct chat interface, dedicated human support, and automated status updates. No more guessing games or endless refreshing of your inbox.
What really struck me was their commitment to making sure every jobseeker feels acknowledged. As Bossjob’s Branding and PR Manager, Nonito Antonio Cuizon, put it, “Ghosting hurts confidence and discourages talents who are eager to contribute.” Their goal? To make job seeking feel like a real conversation again, with feedback and updates every step of the way.
And it’s not just talk. Bossjob’s own survey found that nearly half of Filipino jobseekers have been ghosted by potential employers. That’s a lot of people left wondering what went wrong, and it’s a reminder of how important communication is—not just for landing a job, but for keeping your confidence intact.
To drive the point home, Bossjob even launched a playful “Ghosting Stunt”—imagine a ghost roaming around business districts, reminding everyone that jobseekers deserve a response. It’s a fun way to highlight a serious issue, and it definitely got people talking.
But beyond the stunts and the tech, what I love most is Bossjob’s focus on empowerment. They’re not just helping people find jobs—they’re helping them feel seen, heard, and respected throughout the process. In a world where speed, authenticity, and connection matter more than ever, that’s a breath of fresh air.
So, if you’re tired of sending applications into the void, maybe it’s time to try a platform that actually talks back. Because you deserve more than just a “seen” notification—you deserve a real shot at your next opportunity.
