I absolutely HATE when companies don't reply to applications. I don't understand how or why they take so long, especially when the entire system has become streamlined with things like Jobvite.
A hasty rejection or progression is much appreciated. Mutual respect; showing a little bit goes a long way. Maybe its just me, but I guess I have a bit of an ego and a chip on my shoulder when companies (which I spend time researching and applying to) totally brush me off or don't reply after initial emails.
- yid 15y agoAh you must be young -- expecting mutual respect from tech recruiters.
- ximeng 15y agoCompanies may have to talk to five other people before they can decide whether to progress or reject your application. Those five discussions might take time to arrange and complete. Companies may have liked you enough to consider you for the position but if you're third in line, you need to wait for the first and second people to reject or accept the position, which may take a few days each time. Or a great application may come in half way through the process. I agree with you that companies should keep you updated, but sometimes these things take time.
- amorphid 15y agoRecruiter here. I get back to everyone that applies, or at least try to. Current recruiting software doesn't have a good solution for dealing with all the different use cases that delay the hiring process. Combine that with high volumes of job applications and it becomes a real pain.
