My issue with both this and the post it's replying to is the underlying sense of entitlement. The "who is hiring process" is great for reducing friction in matching good employers with good employees. All the pride (in the deadly sin way) I see from both sides does nothing but add friction. "You didn't send a timely response" is no better than "this applicant's reply is terse". And in both cases neither makes any attempt at determining how good the employer matches the employee.
- iaw 14y agoGreat minds....
- Tangaroa 14y agoThe frictive responses are unhelpful, but for the sake of courtesy an employer is entitled to a well-written introductory letter (even if only a paragraph) and an employee is entitled to a response (even if only a line). For both workers and employers who care greatly about common courtesy, the lack thereof does show the unsuitability of the other party.
