...debrief the people who pass on you. That's an excellent point. I'll add it. (It's a historical accident it's not there already: We wrote this advice for the companies we work with, and since we ask candidates for feedback on behalf of the companies, we didn't think to tell our companies to do it, too.) Also, I really like how transparent your jobs page is about how your process works. That's something else we should add: Tell people what to expect, how long it usually takes, etc. Thanks for the suggestions and kind words!

...debrief the people who pass on you. Right, I'd be so thrilled to provide feedback because companies have the courtesy to do the same to the candidates they pass on. Back when I was job hunting for 6+ months I would consider myself lucky if I got an almost automated "We're sorry to inform you that..." email, most don't bother even with that. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on, leave them in the dark.

  > Right, I'd be so thrilled to provide feedback because companies have the courtesy to do the same to the candidates they pass on. They don't, because anything they say is a lawsuit waiting to happen. > Fuck them and the horse they rode in on, leave them in the dark. That a personal perspective. Say some big company Google let me hanging for 2 months before sending me an automated "we are sorry" mail, I will be mighty pissed, but I won't take it out on some other company which was responsive.
