I recently got ghosted by a candidate who was about to be given a job offer.
From keen one day to vanished the next.
After a few attempts to reach him, through different means, I told the employer that I believed he'd lost interest and we offered the other candidate instead.
She's enjoying her new role, and he has never gotten back in touch - I hope he's ok.

Epilogue - rather than worry about candidates letting you down, why not have a process that mitigates this risk?
