Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies do not send rejection emails and as applicants, we wouldn't be able to know our status and whether we should keep waiting or move on.

I was frustrated by this during my internship search, where I often wasn't sure if my applications had been seen or if I had been ghosted. The general guideline is to wait 1-2 weeks for a response, but if someone else had already gotten a reply, it would've been good to know.

This frustration led me to build didtheyghost.me - a community-driven platform and a tool to help applicants in their job search by bringing more transparency to the application process.

This isn't a job scraper or yet another job board. Instead, it helps answer questions like:

- Has anyone heard back from this role? [1]

- How long does it usually take to hear back? [2]

- What are the online assessments/interview rounds like for company X? [3][4]

- And the big one: Did they ghost me?

How it works:

1. See a job listing (e.g. on LinkedIn), apply for it, and haven't heard back?

2. Use the platform to check if others have received replies, interviews, or offers.

3. Find out if you're in the same boat or if you might've been ghosted.

It's all community-driven, so the more people use it, the more helpful it gets!
