You…You actually write down that seven years ago people told you this was a discriminatory awful idea and you’re STILL proud of it, seven years later?

Can you imagine working for someone who not just makes such arbitrary decisions but CELEBRATES them?

““It signals the person wants the job.Rather, no thank you email signals the person probably doesn’t want the job.”
I stopped reading at this point.
The negligence, the pride, the nonchalant attitude towards the opinion of others. You only hire, you’re not God.— Name cannot be blank (@hackSultan) April 7, 2019

This is an arbitrary bit of gatekeeping that is both culture- and generation-specific. In doing this you’re also gong to skew results to people who act and think like you, thereby decreasing intellectual diversity on the team. A thank you is classy, but not a disqualifier.

I usually scroll by tweets like this but bc I just did so many interviews I can’t. I can’t in good conscience send thank you letters to companies that waste my life in blocks of 5 hours for interviews they provide no feedback for or let me know if I get the job for that matter

My simple rule: don’t work anywhere that thinks having access to your talent is a bigger win for you than it is for them.
Companies that compete on talent recruit to persuade. Companies that view hiring as merely finding workers worry about thank you emails.

Anyone who treats a prospective employee like a child instead of a potential peer isn’t worth working for in the first place. I send followup emails to thank the interviewer for their time, but as soon as you make it required you turn a kind courtesy into a petty demand.

so do you send emails to every applicant who interviews to let them know that they’re not moving forward? I’m not even asking you to reject every application you receive, just anyone who you talk to. curious.

Looks like she’s still waiting for a reply.
This is an excellent question. What is the answer, @jessicaliebman?
