People are more casual about applying for jobs because they get treated this way by employers. Playing on a job market they learn from them that this is an acceptable behavior.
But why are employers ghosting candidates so much lately? Are there too many people on the market to choose from and they just can't answer? Or maybe they learn this from some large trend-setting corporation that secretly wants to put down candidates to make them more corporate drony, but publicly justifies such policy as legal risk or something. I have a feeling this is where it starts.
- ropeadopepope 8y agoThere's this perception in the corporate world that telling a candidate why they were rejected opens up the company to a potential lawsuit. I have no idea if there's any truth to that statement or if it's just a convenient excuse that gets repeated.
- mattkrause 8y agoI would happily sign a waiver for some feedback. That said, I would bet that a lot of decisions, especially among "finalists" are essentially random (who seems smarter/better put together/whatever). You're not going to get someone saying "well, you took 10.3 minutes to sketch out a solution to our first problem, which was too long. We would have hired you if you finished in under 9 and half minutes though."
- detaro 8y agoTelling them that they were rejected would be a start in some cases...
- phyzome 8y agoIt's too bad there's no way to efficiently track candidates in some sort of "data store" and then send them all "automated messages" when someone else has been selected for the job.
