Thank you for this service. I am so tired of employers that don't have the decency nor the professional integrity to contact applicants after they have gone through multiple interviews. It is so easy to set up a form email, and it boggles the mind how many companies do not do this. Very unprofessional and speaks volumes about the company in my book.

I didn't think I'd need to use this service, but from September through December I went through a phone screening, a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager and then an intensive third interview with the hiring manager, another manager and the hiring manager of the third party the candidate would be servicing. The position was to start in January and by mid December I was starting to wonder and sent a brief, professional inquiry and was told to check back in a few weeks (which would make it well into January.) Additional email went unanswered and here it is mid-February. I put a lot of effort into preparing for the interviews - studying the company and its client, prepping for the interviews, buying a new interview suit and so on. I've applied for 108 jobs since June and indeed I do not expect responses from overwhelmed HR and hiring professionals. But when I've had MULTIPLE interviews for ONE position, I deserve simple courtesy. Thank you!

That's why some sort of automated system can be put in place... you know, just send a standard e-mail saying basically "thanks, but no thanks". Plus, like the person that posted a message on Oct. 13: this is your job. We are spending quite a bit of time in making each cover letter unique, adjusting the resume a zillion times because "maybe, maybe this time..." - just to get no sort of communication back just because some recruiter didn't feel like doing it?!

"I'm so sorry I can't answer all 1056 applicants per job who find a way to contact me."

Actually you can answer to all 1056 applicants. That's your job. Don't be lazy. Try to incorporate an applicant tracking system or use your email system to respond to all applicants. Just follow up. Hire an intern if your workload is heavy.

P.S. I accept your apology this time.

Actually, anonymous, what we're talking about here are companies that don't get back to applicants AFTER AN INTERVIEW. Not every single application for the job.

I'm so sorry I can't answer all 1056 applicants per job who find a way to contact me.

Your expectations are unrealistic.

I love this!
And Kerry, I love your blog! I think yours is one of the very few that makes sense (I love Ronny Ann's too).

So I just sent one email to this employer in Palo Alto, who had a phone interview with me, and responding to my thank you email with: "I am running out of time for this week, but will follow up next week after returning from vacation".
And that was it, never heard a word from her ever again, even after my follow up email.

I just sent the letter to a very unprofessional employer in the Kansas City area. If nothing else, it lets them know that their rude behavior isn't appreciated by some job seekers.

Thanks for this great service. Before my recent job search (which began June 2009), I've never experienced such rude employers!!! I've always heard back with either a Yes or a No. I just don't understand how employers can be so incredibly rude.

2009-08-09T09:14:27.614-04:00

I've come across way too many inconsiderate managers even after the condidtions have been met. This is a well needed "service". Thank you for putting it together.

This is awesome!!
