Wasp for recruiters holding both sides of every promise
A candidate is owed feedback. A hiring manager is owed a shortlist. Reputation in recruiting is built entirely on which of those you actually deliver.
The short version
Recruiting runs on promises made in two directions at once, to candidates and to hiring managers, and the industry's biggest reputational damage comes from the ones that quietly go unanswered. Wasp catches both sides as they are written and holds you to them.
The commitment pattern
Every candidate conversation produces a promise: feedback by Friday, an update after the client call, a decision by end of week. Every client conversation produces its own: a shortlist by a date, a status update, a check-in after an offer goes out. None of these are optional to keep, because a recruiter's entire business is the reputation of following through on both sides, and candidate ghosting in particular is one of the most cited complaints about the industry.
The volume is the problem. A busy recruiter is running a dozen of these promises in parallel, and the ones that slip are rarely deliberate. They are the ones that got buried under the next call.
What Wasp catches for you
- Feedback you told a candidate was coming after an interview
- A shortlist or update you promised a hiring manager by a date
- A check-in you said you would send after an offer went out
Who this fits
This fits recruiters and talent partners running candidate and client relationships in parallel, where reputation depends on both sides getting what they were told to expect.
If your ATS already forces a follow-up task for every candidate stage and your team actually clears it daily, that discipline may already cover this.
Where Wasp is today, plainly
Wasp is pre-launch. The product is built and the waitlist is open, and there is nothing to buy yet. There are no customer testimonials on this page because there are no customers yet. Rather than borrow someone else's quotes or manufacture any, here is what can be checked instead: the live demo runs the real interface on invented data with no account needed, and the changelog lists what has shipped and when.
Questions
Does Wasp help with candidate ghosting specifically?
Yes, that is close to the core case. Wasp catches the feedback or update you told a candidate to expect and keeps it open until you have actually sent it, rather than letting it silently pass.
Does it work across both candidate and client-side communication?
Yes, Wasp reads across your connected inbox and Slack, so a promise to a candidate and a promise to a hiring manager are both caught the same way.
