Appointment Reminder for HR, Recruiting & Staffing

Interview No-Shows Drain Your Recruiting Budget

When a candidate ghosts a first-round interview, the hiring manager blocked an hour, the recruiter's pipeline metric takes a hit, and the req stays open another costly week.

28%
Average No-Show Rate

Recruiting teams report a 28% interview no-show rate overall, with entry-level hourly positions seeing rates above 50%.

$175
Cost Per No-Show

Each interview no-show costs an average of $175 in lost interviewer productivity and recruiter time — and that cost compounds for every week the position stays open.

Sound Familiar?

Entry-level and hourly candidates no-show at rates above 40% because they're applying to dozens of jobs simultaneously

Panel interviews with three or four interviewers multiply the cost of a single candidate no-show

Recruiters spend mornings calling candidates to confirm afternoon interviews instead of sourcing new talent

"We hire 200 warehouse associates a quarter and were losing 45% of interview slots. Adding a three-touch reminder sequence cut our no-show rate to 18%. We filled our holiday headcount three weeks early."
