Can someone here explain to me why it's hard for recruiters to inform candidates if they didn't make it? If everything is automated anyway, can rejections not be automated as well? It's so frustrating and energy-consuming to keep guessing if you might just be followed up with.

Even though so much is automated, there still has to be a stage change or something to trigger that automation. For the most part, I do get those rejections. But I believe most recruiters are just focused on those moving forward.

This is a pain point in the industry, my impression is that who has the buying power in the picture, does not see the value in providing a tool which allows it to be automated, but I think that it would be a great addition in brand recognition and reputation

You’re right, even a short automated rejection is better than silence. Most recruiters want to close the loop, but delays happen due to changing hiring decisions or slow feedback from teams. Still, candidates deserve timely updates.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
