I am royally mad for this rejection email. This is what I got after code test (check the 2nd paragraph) :

I assume that HR request whoever reviewed my code to return 2nd paragraph with something actually written, but whoever did it doesn't gave a single damn..... wow and wow.

I wouldn’t take anything personal. I was given the same one multiple times before being hired. It’s just a generic way of saying they aren’t interested. It’s cold and hurtful if you put your time and energy into preparing or doing sample work, but it’s the nature of the beast and unfortunately the hiring process is getting much much worse as time passes.

Recruiters are just awful at their jobs. I've gotten emails addressed to other people lol. They can't even change the name out when they copy and paste

This email reads like you dodged a bullet. That's got organizational culture issues written all over it, pun intended 🤓

Translation: “We already had someone in mind for this job before we posted it but we still had to go through the interview process with multiple candidates as a formality. If we find another opening though we would likely hire you next time”

Don’t take it personally, it happens more often than you think.

This is the one i constantly receive.

Yeah I got one like this, emailed them back to the actual email they were responding to me to because the email came from a no reply lmao they were soooo apologetic 🙄

Did you get the job?

I would say in the email back, “unfortunately I’ve also decided to go another route due to having more attention to detail than the company that is hiring, see below.”

Had an experience where HR said need is super urgent and after 3 rounds of interviews deaf silence for over a week. Sent them an email to follow-up and never heard back.

That seems to be the standard "form letter" -- I've gotten the same verbiage. I agree - the recruiter or whomever sent it, obviously didn't proof read the response. Hang in there!

Wow. Very incompetent.

Aww yes the blanket bulk reply that temps and overwhelmed HR staff forget to customize. My favorites are the rejection letters they use for different positions and could care less to change the position to the actual one you interviewed or applied for. SMH.

Proof reading. Very helpful.
