Heaven forbid a worker wants to know what’s in it for them with an employer. If that employer wants to be honest and say a zero hour contract on the minimum wage then that’s within their gift.

The non-attendance at interviews thing is interesting. Would be intriguing to see the underlying dataset for it. My guess would be websites with individuals applying for roles on and industrial scale (via a recruitment website) then only considering the ones that offer an interview. A bit like swiping yes to everyone on tinder and vetting the matches.

A comparison with the non-attendance figure for more traditional recruitment methods - direct contact with the employer at an early stage, perhaps dealing with a named person (the recruiting manager or someone in HR) I suspect would be revealing.

Blaming social media for that outcome is just jumping on a useful bandwagon.
