Recently, I got this response from an applicant whom I turned down during the CV screening:
"Honestly, this is the first response I’ve received after months of applying, so even though it wasn’t the outcome I was hoping for, I’m still glad to have heard back."
A call to my #HR colleagues: please make the short (or whatever #AI) effort to communicate with the people who put in the work of applying to your vacancies. It does make a difference #respect #gratitude 🙏
