Ghost Rate V2
Ghost rate now specifically measures silence after human contact — when a recruiter or interviewer engages with you, then disappears. Applications that never received any response are tracked separately as silence rate. This gives a more honest picture of both metrics.
April 22, 2026
Expanded outcome categories
We now track more types of hiring outcomes to better reflect what actually happens during a job search. Rejections at different stages are measured separately, because an automated rejection email is not the same experience as being turned down after three interviews.

Transparency Score update
The transparency score now better reflects how companies treat candidates at different stages. Post-interview silence weighs more heavily than post-application delays, because the candidate has invested significantly more time and effort at that point.

Ghost rate tiers
Ghost rate is now shown in four levels instead of a single number: lower, elevated, high, and critical. Because even a small amount of ghosting affects real people, we never label any level as “good.”

Project started
Quaerent began as a simple idea: what if hiring silence had a score? 28 days later, here we are.
