New What took them so long?

HR has decided that they will no longer call candidates to reject them


Hell, in my years I've gotten maybe one rejection phone call or letter per 25 interviews at the minimum; in my searches for the last 3 positions I've gotten NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER from the companies. The recruiters I went through didn't get any feedback from the companies either; we just gave up waiting to here something from them and looked elsewhere.

Be like every other company in America today - just ignore those you've passed over.

New Passed over is one thing
If you are engaged in an interview (rather than simply submitting a resume and being ignored), then you ought to get some feedback on how your interview went.

Anytime I tell a client that "Oh no, those computers just change settings and delete things" instead of "You're a moron, and should be entrusted with nothing more complex than a crayon and an Etch-A-Sketch.", I'm lying.
