I see the same thing. I have applied in the past without hearing anything back. It's not just a bad look it's a bad practice and those who apply should know you have a tendency to ghost applicants.

For me its been hiring and working with those that are not able to make the "leap" toward working in a startup. This mainly comes from folks that join a startup after being at a larger org for some time.

What I observe happening is that they cannot think 3 dimensionally, or do not want to wear many hats (which is now required of them in start up life).

This manifests itself in them not wanting to work as hard as others, or unable unwilling to break old habits. Which can be disastrous as every minute counts in a start up.

Who is going to run this board? It's probably going to be the last people on earth you want in those positions.

This is why you should pay for WhoIsGuard.
