Seriously, why don't hiring managers or recruiters send proper rejection emails? I know I wait on pins and needles waiting to hear if I got the job or not. But I would say 9 out of 10 times I never hear anything. Am I the only one who finds it unprofessional when a company just ghosts their candidates?
