(19,381 posts)3. I also saw a thing on Reddit where people were encouraging others to actually set up interviews
and such (i.e. go beyond just spamming the application site) and go as far down the hiring process as possible before bailing out/ghosting them, to really gum up the works at deeper hiring/staffing levels.
I don't know how effective that will really be, or what risks those people are taking on by doing so, but they are trying to do even more...
