To all companies hiring Software Engineers that send them an email that simply says something along the lines of "sorry, but we decided not to choose you" I know you have a lot of applicants, but those same applicants are meticulously applying to hundreds of jobs, taking their time to fill out all of your questions and answering them thoughtfully. At least take the time to tell an applicant WHY you didn't move forward with them. If you want better engineers in the market to choose from, HELP them to know what to improve. One day you will be hiring again and you might wish that you had added to the quality of the hiring poole instead of just ghosting them or sending a one sentence automated rejection. #hiringteams | 91 comments on LinkedIn
