When there’s multiple people involved with hiring this happens all the time. When you get 100/1000s of applications many get stuck in some in-between status like contacting/shortlist when they should be denied. If you’re used to ERP/CRM where there’s no way to abandon a ticket unless you mark it resolved, LinkedIn and indeed feel pretty loose by comparison and it’s easy to miss things like that.

The last time I was looking for a job, I applied to SpaceX (this was before Musk went off the deep end) and I didn’t hear back. Then a year later I get an email telling me my application was denied…. after I’d been working for LinkedIn for ten months.

It just makes them seem incredibly unprofessional. It would be much better to just not contact me at that point. Giving me a reply almost a year later is completely unnecessary.

Yeah unprofessional/bad practice, I would flip off the notifs and just decline behind the scenes.

Several years ago, I got an offer. I said I was interested in, and no response until 4 years after that, when the same peson, send me the same offer, like “hey, are you still looking for job?” xD
