> companies simply can't get back to each and every person Honestly, that's nonsense. Send out a terse, automated email to everyone who applied and was not selected. It could just be something like: "This job posting has been closed and , unfortunately, you were not selected as a finalist. Thank you for applying. We will keep your application on file for 60 days if there is a similar opening." I would love to get useful feedback from an actual human, but I know that interviewer time is expensive and companies are worried about liability[1]. However, an automated email pulled from an applicant-tracking database is literally the least a company could do and is essentially free. If they make it to an on-campus interview, having a real live person copy and paste an email also adds maybe ~$2 to a day that's already costing the company thousands. [1] Everyone says this, but I've never actually seen a court case where a) the company provided reasonable feedback and b) was sued nevertheless.
