How do you respond to a rejection email from a company you would really like to work for?

Long game. You find out the person responsible and then you slowly incorporate your way into their spouses life, offering support at every opportunity. Eventually the spouse will realize how great their time is with you and it is at this time you make your move. If you are successful you sleep with the spouse and ruin the hiring managers life just enough that their career implodes, thus providing you a new job at your desired company to apply for.

Let them know to contact you if they feel any roles fit your profile. Don't over complicate it.

If you still have a desire to work there, respond to the recruiter by thanking them for their time and assistance throughout the recruiting process. Then mention that while things didn't work out, you really enjoyed learning more about the company and value it's culture and while the job you applied for wasn't the perfect fit for both parties, ask the recruiter to keep you in mind for other opportunities that may be better suited for you based on your skills and experience. I would also highlight key skills and experiences so that they will remember this.

Same way you treat a girl rejecting you - down a beer, put your hands in the water and feel all the fish in the sea.

I would thank them politely for the opportunity, add them on LinkedIn if you had a good conversation and ask them to keep you in mind for future opps . And trust me there will be future roles. I was once contacted by an employer that initially rejected me for a role and then contacted me for a similar role (6 months after the rejection). Now it’s a separate story that I got rejected again the second time I interviewed but there def was a second time 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just thank them for their time and consideration, and maybe let them know to keep you in mind if they feel you’re a fit for a role down the road.

I would send a detailed follow up email and ask for feedback and follow up in a year reflecting on what you’ve done to improve those specific things and see if you could be reconsidered again.

Also...most people aren't looking to wait a YEAR to land a job. Must be a super ambitious person if they're willing to do this.

No need to respond to the email unless you want to let the recruiter know to keep you in mind for future roles... then just keep an eye on openings at that company. If there is a recruiter you know/spoke with at the company email them in the future if you see a role that aligns with your background….

I'd simply back off and move forward. Although not gonna lie, I'd be really sad for a while. But some things happen for a reason. If one door closed for me, I am positive that there are still a lot of doors I haven't knocked on yet.

This happened to me recently for a role I thought I’d landed, so I reached out to HR for feedback. They didn’t get back to me, so I kindly reached out again 2 weeks later, and nothing. After that, I felt better about the universe not having given me the role because I felt I saw what their culture was truly like.

Nothing to be done really. Just continue to apply.

You should apply to different roles - there’s no harm. Also reevaluate your resume.

Attack first, neg them, send them a letter of rejection before they can reject you

You don’t. There’s no point. Most of those emails are automatically generated and there’s nothing to be gained from replying. Move on.
