Episode 81 - Walking with a Ghost

Now that Jer is done being sick, we're back with this question:

My work takes referrals and recently I referred a friend of mine that I thought would be a good fit for a position we were looking to fill. He went through the interview process and thought he did really well, but then the company sort of ghosted him.

However, I know they are still looking to fill the role. Is it okay to ask why they didn't hire my friend?
