Blanket rejection of juniors is pretty short sighted. Not offering any rejection at all is even worse. If you're not hiring juniors, say so. If you're not hiring juniors and one applies, send a polite response to say "Oh hey, thanks but we're after more senior people, but please try again in a year or so!". There's no good reason for a non-response, and when it's in their handbook and they still don't do it, a big red flag for other candidates.
- wyclif 7y agoAgreed, but isn't the point of labelling an open position 'junior' or 'senior' so that candidates will know whether it's appropriate to apply? Everybody surely knows what these terms mean, right? And if it isn't in the job title, then why can't they put it in the job description so they don't get junior experience people applying for senior jobs?
