Why don't hiring managers provide any kind of feedback when they reject you? They take the time to review our resumes and interview us, so why won't they send a sentence or two with some feedback? Every time I get a rejection email, I try responding to ask for feedback, but never get a reply.

To cover themselves honestly. The more they say and the more specific they are the more likely somebody is to turn it into a liability or legal concern. I could also possibly say time constraints, but if they had the time to interview, ideally they’d have time to write a tiny bit, but back to the first issue.

It's essentially to avoid legal issues. Companies are always wary that something someone says can be misconstrued and turned into a legal problem. And there's also a practical, if cold-blooded reason. If they're not going to be working with you, they don't owe you anything. Some companies take that too far and just ghost people. That's wrong, they should be courteous enough to let people know for certain they've been rejected. But they don't owe anyone a detailed explanation or a discussion.

HR tells hiring managers not to for all of the reasons posted above.

Funny and sad how some rejection letters are written using ChatGPT. I got a couple that still have the [replace with candidate name] in the copy that was drafted and pasted into the email. 🤦‍♂️💩

Seriously? That is so disgusting. That’s worse than if they didn’t give you any feedback at all. They should’ve just said we’re going another direction or ghosted you rather than not even swap out your name on a ChatGPT created rejection letter you should blast that company on site like Glassdoor.

Does anyone have knowledge of the financial crimes practice in KPMG? I am interviewing for a position to move there from a current forensics position.

Online info is not that descriptive. Also, is the 80-100 percent travel really true or is a bit less?
