This seems ordinary and fine practice to me. You can’t expect to get a response to every hiring email, even from a YC firm and even if they reach out to you first.
- JCharante 3y agoThe email contents are exactly the same, except for the usernames which are parsed from the comment thread. My problem isn't with not getting a response, my problem is that they sent the same email to everybody while writing it to sound personal with phrases such as "Saw your profile on HN and we think your skills look like a good fit for our team - wondered if you'd be interested in our YC company" and "I think you'd find our job description interesting, can I tempt you to take a look? :)". If it was written to be less personal to make it clear that it's sent in mass then that'd be okay.
