WTF is up with getting scheduled for interviews and then getting an auto-reject email?

Everytime I ask (this happened like 6 times-multiple firms) it ends up being an error. Any insight into this HR?

Hiring freezes due to a recession?

Nature of the beast sadly. Good to follow up for this reason

Did you apply for multiple roles? Could be that you’re getting notification for another role, not the one you’re interviewing for. From the recruiter side, it’s a pretty intentional process where you update someone’s application status so unless there is some weird system error it’s not an accident.

Sometimes closing the req triggers those emails.

I've received an auto reject for a job after I'd already been in the role for a week.

The way recruitment systems work, a req doesn’t auto-close. The job posting may no longer be visible, but a recruiter has to physically update the status of the req, just like they have to physically update the status of a candidate. Though there is usually a way to mass update candidate status, typically the notification for non-selection does not go out until the req is marked as filled (meaning another applicant is “hired”).

Recession is coming!

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
