Comment on Looking for a job as backend developer, a Sankey diagram

Man, I can say sometimes you’re right. But I have an open position on my team, I’ve received over 100 applications and something like 85% of them have no relevant experience. Do you actually expect me to try and talk to all of them? I do what I can and interview who I think fits best. It’s not perfect science but I have to work with what I have.

I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

  Yeah. Standard rejection emails are good. I have gotten some really nice rejection emails. I haven’t dwelt on them long enough to know what sets them apart.
  
  I have gotten a couple of rejections and thought: huh, I forgot I applied there. I have been wanting to do a diagram like this for my current job hunt, but I think I am getting a higher percentage of rejections than OP.

    Hello fellow candidate, we’re moving forward with other candidate, thanks for your time, regards.
    
    That’s all what I need, tbh.

  I agree with you. If I interview someone, I make it a point to get back with news(good or bad) asap. I don’t sit on it. I give the information to my recruiter and ask the recruiter to get on top of a response.
  
  I don’t know if we respond to candidates that don’t get interviews. I can recommend it. I’m sure our recruiting software can do it.
