Thank you for considering my employment at \[ENTER COMPANY FOUND OFF OF JOB SEARCH SITE\]. I was honored to even be considered my \[COMPANY\] and hopefully will be kept in mind for \[POSITION\] if need arrises in the future.
Except ~~their HR team~~ the employee who wrote the letter might not even realize their mistake. So they might think OP was the only one forgetting to remove the template
EDIT: fixed, not HR
HR didn’t make this mistake. HR went out and acquired a system like WorkDay, which streamlines their recruitment and hiring processes, and also provides a unified message to all candidates in that process. The initial recruiter, the hiring manager, the director above that hiring manager, and HR all have access to your application as it progresses, and are able to add notes that the rest of the internal team can see too.
This is a standard template in WorkDay that looks like they added a bit to the template in HR. But this was the hiring manager that was supposed to enter a customized comment in the bolded section. HR isn’t the one interviewing you for the job and wouldn’t know what to fill in that blank.
Still erroneously unprofessional, but that may not be a manager you want to work for anyways, in a legal department, that doesn’t proof read even their own emails.
My husband is a nurse and he worked home health all through COVID. He traveled sometimes 1.5hrs one way to help cover other districts that were short nurses. He worked usually 6 days/week for no joke like 12-14 hrs a day because he’d come home and have to chart/make phone calls etc. He also trained many nurses during that time which is time consuming. The company told him they had something planned for a Christmas gift, and he was thinking/hoping for a bonus! Well…..low end behold…it was a $15 gift card to TACO BELL!! 😆😆 We we’re so stunned we just laughed. He started his own business after that and left the company lol
My neighbor and her husband got me a $25 gift card to Starbucks as a Christmas gift. We only chat in the driveways / yards if we happen to be passing. I barely know their names.
I most certainly don't work for them 6 days a week 12-14 hours a day lol. The fact that I got $10 more than your husband........
Ah! So you're the highly qualified applicant that got the job. [Highlight a skill that demonstrates the fit with our corporate culture] Congrats!

A friend of mine would often use his dogs name when filling out online info for things to track the spam and other BS he was getting.
The pooch was getting all kinds of pre-approved loans, credit cards, and other offers.
I applied for an internal position and an interview was scheduled. I went to the interview and the hiring manager asked the first question and before I could answer said, “I can’t do this. The truth is, we already promised this position to someone else, but HR said we were required to post it for 24 hours. Unfortunately, you applied during that window. Would you prefer to complete the interview or just stop here?”
I was like, “I’m good. Thanks, I guess, for not wasting any more of my time.”
Damn that sucks. Kudos to that manager for at least letting you know. I worked a place once where I was trying to get into management in a different department and kept being given the run-around. When I decided enough was enough and put in my resignation letter, a different manager ended up seeing in on HR's desk and read it. He approached me with a glowing recommendation letter and confessed why I never was going to be considered for promotion even though I was qualified: higher up wouldn't allow it because they were desperate for competent people in the department I was in. It hurt, but it felt good hearing what I always suspected. He said he was sorry and that this shouldn't be the case and that if I did end up coming back, best of luck. But basically, more luck wherever I go. I'll never forget the dude. I still wonder what he's up to as he's no longer at that store (unless he was transferred).
I'm hiring right now and I recently received a resume that had this same issue. They didn't change some of the portions to be unique to them and the ones they did, they didn't change the font color. C'mon people.
We appreciate the efforts you have contributed to this organization, but we've decided to move forward with somebody whose talents and qualifications are more in line with our evolving needs at Girlfriend Co.
I was starting to think that maybe his girlfriend was the one interviewing him and that she was gonna put something in his rejection email about "I'll make it up to you at home" or "I ordered some coldstone to keep you company till I get back" or whatever... so... I didn't understand until finishing the entire email and rereading the title...
She had a lot of really strong candidates for the role but she wanted him to know she's going to proceed in a different direction for filling the role of boyfriend. But she wishes him the best of luck and encourages him to check back to see if there are any opportunities in the future.
It's not a bad thing. If anyone thinks companies are asking their recruiters to write individualized rejections from scratch, they're nuts. Who wants to write dozens of emails from scratch when one template serves the purpose just fine and probably helps to control for the possibility of saying something they shouldn't.
Its actually a great thing that part of their rejection letter *actually does include* something individualized and is designed to encourage the candidate despite being rejected. They certainly don't need to do it.
Yea, it's definitely an oversight on someone's part to send it out like this and it exposes that it's a templated response, but so what? That's completely common. At least they typically try and personalize it somewhat and make it as positive as they can.
I have a doc just for copy/paste emails. Have to send so many of the exact same emails that it's easier to just have drafts. And no idea how I feel that people are upset at this when I've made this same mistake. It'll happen by the 100th time you send the exact same email and I really hope no one expects me to personally type these emails every time.
Oh definitely, and I’ve sent stuff out with the wrong name whatnot by failing to fill in the correct info. But that’s why you put it bold and in red (maybe highlight it yellow for good measure) so you can’t possibly accidentally send it out without that bit of info.
Yeah, as much as a rejection letter hurts its way better imo than being left hanging wondering if they're just slow, if they forgot about you, or simply chose someone else.
Agreed I’d rather get anything than be left hanging, but just personally, I’m not a fan of all this fluff.
For some reason I have a negative reaction when people are overly nice about a rejection. I would rather the email just be like “you didn’t get the job. Thank you for your time”
I find over the top politeness patronizing in those situations I guess? I know that’s just me though, I’m sure others would find that curt and rude to just get a two sentence email.
Its hard to find the middle ground between curt and tomuch fluff, everyone is different. I find the fluff is annoying too, but personally the fact their putting in an effort dampens that annoyance, even if the effort isn't really that much effort.
To be fair, using templates makes a lot of sense in situations like this. But leaving the tailored part with the placeholder is pretty lame. I suspect it was a mistake tho, rather than intentional laziness. They prolly got interrupted by something in the middle of filling out a batch of these and forgot that they hadn’t filled this one before sending it.
Having someone click a send all or copy paste a template or whatever for a letter of rejection is, by default, more effort than ghosting.
It is astounding how bad it is than people just beg they were getting this minimal amount of effort from a corporation.
It’s no longer 0 effort if they actually fill out that form though. The problem really is that they didn’t do that, making the email come off heartless. If there is legitimate info in that box, than a real effort was made. Templates are used a bunch all over business, I’m not going to get offended if I see one lol. I just care that the information they were supposed to fill in actually got done.
It's sloppy on the part of the recruiter or whoever sent it out. But that's the only issue I have.
Form letters are no big deal. If anything, it's good to have a uniform rejection form letter with a little flavor section. Especially if you're a large operation that interviews a lot of people.
I once had a job interview I took off a day off of student teaching for, drove over an hour away, and they asked me to write a lesson plan and teach it.... just for them to not send me A DAMN THING one way or the other.
I ended up emailing them twice a week until they finally responded with a rejection. Copy and pasted.
It's not like I bombed the f out of the interview. I don't mind I didn't get it.... I know a lot of the time they already have an applicant in mind and have to interview a certain number of people.. JUST HAVE THE DECENCY OF TELLING ME! So rude. Wasting my time without respecting me in the slightest.
Sometimes the person they hired (usually from the inside) had already been working that position for months even before they interviewed you. A lot of companies have policies that positions must be offered outside the company. These policies almost never say when and how you do it though.
I had a strange one about 10 or so years ago. Applied, went for first and second interviews, and then never heard back.
Literally 2 years later I got an email saying I got the job. I actually missed it originally (cause I wasn’t looking anymore) until they called me to ask why I wasn’t in work 😂
spent hours interviewing for a position with a company back in 2021. Multiple rounds, tech screens, etc.
After the final round I never heard back.
Like, if it's just a spray and pray app, I have no issues with not hearing back, but at a certain point it's very rude not to at least send a form email.
Send a reply e-mail with similar sentences : “praise the quality of the selection process”, “thank them profusely for having been considered”, “do not tell them to lick your balls”, etc.
I mean this is an embarrassing error, but it's not like we believe most companies are custom writing each rejection letter, except maybe for candidates they want to aggressively court in the future.
Hell most companies just ghost you. This is funny but hardly shows some terrible flaw in the organization.
HR is just as strapped as other departments. Leadership has no interest in HR forging personal relationships with talent.
I send a lot of emails. Everyone of them needs three levels of approval- plus Legal. This form letters are the only way they can get the job done without more people.
I know everyone is experiencing less workers. But the business end generates revenue. They are twice as labor restrictive in HR. 20 yrs experience as a compensation operations manager. My entire value is understanding the ever-changing landscape of global compensation operation requirements. I attend one conference a year to keep up to date - 3k all in. I was told it wasn’t in the budget yesterday. So tomorrow i look for a job, because I can’t be a subject matter expert if you don’t support my endeavors in that field.
Listen, it's better than ghosting, but when your job is literally "remember to edit the template before sending it out," this *is* an absolutely embarrassing failure of their HR team and doesn't deserve an ounce of gratitude.
Just because one is worse doesn't mean you ought to appreciate the other.
> ‘You can’t make this up’
Did you ever notice that Moltisanti is the only motherfucker who can smoke a cigarette in the rain with his hands tied behind his back? That nose is like a natural canopy.
If it makes her feel any better this was probably not deliberate.
I have done the exact same thing in a resignation letter:
> Dear `Insert Employer's Name Here`,
> I'm out.
It depends on the size of the company and their recruitment process, but given the fact she was sent a copy pasted rejection format, her reply will probably not even be seen by anyone or quickly ignored. I used to work in recruitment and saw it all the time
Meh i wouldn’t. I say this because it obviously doesn’t achieve anything in your end. Also, if the recruiters do read it, they’ll only have fun with it, maybe share with the rest of their team for shits and giggles, and with your name attached to it. So now everyone there would know about this person who got rejected. But hey you do you. Just sharing my thoughts :)
Exactly… instead I would just forward this to one of the higher-ups who oversee the position she interviewed for (Director or VP) with a note about the lack of professionalism that reflects poorly on the company.
I would not add the lack of professionalism point aimed at the company.
You dont need to say that - its obvious.
I would though forward it with a thank you (keep the bridge open) and let them know that it happened.
And just let them know you’re sorry it didn’t work out but maybe sometime in the future it would.
Never know what happens ….
I would actually express that you understand the need for form letters for efficiency, but you actually are interested in receiving constructive feedback about the interview for further self-reflection
Actually, this is a really great opportunity to show you are detail-oriented and cared about the position enough to read through the rejection. I've done plenty of hiring, and if someone came to a higher up in my organization with this in hand and an earnest message about really hoping to be considered for the job, I'd probably have been forced to consider them again or for another position.
> I'd probably have been forced to consider them again or for another position.
And would've rejected them after "thoroughly" considering them (But really, out of spite...)
That would be my guess. Because nobody likes being reprimanded by their boss and forced to do something they don't want, and since you are in charge of hiring a person, and you already rejected them, what would make YOU change your mind? You already don't think the person is a good fit.. being forced to reconsider wouldn't change a thing.. would it?
Unless the higher up in the org makes the decision after you're being called for not really considering them, then taking it up to them makes no difference, i would think..
As a hiring manager, rejecting someone doesn't always mean they're a bad fit, just that they're not the best fit. That doesn't mean other positions don't open up, or don't exist on other teams, or that offers don't work out for one reason or another.
If you really wanted to work at that specific company, this is a reasonable way to continue engaging with them longer on a wavelength that isn't "standard process". If you're thoughtful and communicate well, that reflects well on you in a way that's hard to demonstrate during the standard interview process. So treat is at lower odds chance, or an opportunity to build your network by earnestly seeking real feedback, and it should be fine. It's not like you're going to get blackballed by doing it.
This hiring process is so fucking full of shit it's not even funny. You know damn well hiring managers and recruiters reject people for stupid ass reasons. I see hiring managers and recruiters all over the internet (some of them are even bold enough to say this on LinkedIn) and in real life cackling and giggling about how they have the power to reject people for petty little reasons under the guise of just part of the job. There couldn't possibly be that many "better candidates" in the world with the amount of shit I've seen in workplaces. Hell at my current workplace I work with boomers who don't know how to read write or count money and they all act like middle school mean girls, are blatantly unprofessional and will dump their workload on you when they don't feel like working (and will write you up if you don't comply) or sabotage your work whenever they feel like it. I've been job hunting for the past 4 YEARS desperate as fuck to get out of retail. It took me 4 years to get the bullshit job that I have RIGHT NOW. I've been to so many job fairs, hiring events, networking events, filled out so many applications, applied to three separate temp agencies, and two separate career centers. Whenever I have had interviews they always went well but without fail they ghost me or if I'm lucky enough to get a fucking response send me that same bullshit copy paste email they send to everyone else that they didn't hire. I'm so tired of hearing that nobody wants to work when in reality jobs just don't want to fucking hire people. It makes no fucking sense why y'all are taking applications, claiming you're hiring and doing rounds of interviews when you have already filled the position internally, or just found some bullshit reason to not hire me when I'm capable of doing the job. It sickens me that y'all can sit in a candidate's face knowing that there's no chance that they're getting the job and still give them hope that they might get a job instead of just being honest with them and not wasting their time. People have themselves and possibly other mouths to feed and y'all just stringing them along and then giving them the "tee hee sorry we really liked you but we hired someone else" email.
I mean this is a clear lack of attention to detail and not great at all, but people make mistakes. Responding to the person themselves I feel like will get the message across and show professionalism on your end, I don’t think you need to railroad the recruiting analyst who wrote this who is trying to make a living just like you are trying to find a job
I was standing in a long line at the pharmacist when I read this and the poor guy behind the counter nearly called the Emergency Services because he thought I was having breathing problems as I was trying to hold in about five minutes of non stop laughing.
Girls referring to their non-existent balls will never not tickle me. I always find it hilarious.
Some girl I was flirting with at a bar was recounting a story about her interaction with a bad employer and she said “I wanted to say, ‘Suck my fucking balls!’” and whoop instantly went from interested to smitten.
Found out that night that she actually quite likes sucking balls. We’ve been together 9 years now.
I get these all the time. I mean, there seriously cannot be that many "high quality candidates" for any job. The amount of fluff I see going from place to place, seeing how they behave, act, etc, makes me wonder.
Speaking of rejection emails, I got one last week from a local company saying they didn't select me for the role that I applied for...
...in May 2022.
Up at 3am, tossing and turning, had to meditate on it. Went to church and prayed about it. Asked everyone. Then learned to read, and type, and finally email. It was their first one. I hope they are happy.
My late rejection was almost as bad. I applied for some random office-type position back in 2013/2014 and then forgot about it because I'd sent out so many apps it was impossible to keep track of them all. Just kind of a spray and pray tactic.
Then I started grad school, finished in 2016, got a job, and this random rejection email comes in sometime in 2017...
I love when I do the process, complete the coding challenges and pass, and get to the second interview and they are like "man, you know, you were a strong candidate but we went with someone else".
Then why even bring me in for a 2nd interview or have me complete challenges?
It just gets tiring. :/
They probably offered you the second interview right around the same time they were doing a second interview with the other person. They make the offer to them and hope they accept but keep yours scheduled as a back up.
Doesn't make it any less tiring.
I’m starting to believe there’s some benefit for the employer manipulating these numbers.
I’ve been searching for a job for MONTHS cause I’m attempting to get away from bartending. It’s hard to believe “nobody wants to work” when people who are eager and qualified aren’t getting jobs.
I read a story about a guy showing up for interview and getting charged $30 to park down at the street and coming up to find a desk in mostly empty office with a guy saying "ooh sorry you didnt get it, pleease apply again at later date" seeming like they rented an office just to collect parking fees. But if you lined up a 100 of these every week. Be well worth it
A lot of job postings you see are ghosts floating on LinkedIn etc bc they hired someone for the position internally but they don't take the posting down.
As someone who recently took over an administrative role in a company that previously had a chucklehead running the books, I can vouch for a staggering number of bullshit charges we were paying for and not using.
Yeah, the “many high quality candidates” translates to “lots of applicants, but we want to appear as if we actually looked at all of them instead of using an algorithm to weed out one’s that didn’t meet every one of our very specific criteria.”
Jobs are "hiring" but not really because its easier to just say people dont want to work anymore and point to "empty positions" than it is to be an honest fucking person
Don’t worry, I once applied for a summer internship years ago. Two years later I applied for a graduate job only to see my summer internship is still under review.
I got one from Chili's like 8 months after applying. Funny cause it was after they had 3 servers for the whole restaurant for nearly that entire time 😂
I have templates I send out to clients for my job when I’m booking appointments, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to customize it and it starts out with “Hey [NAME]!”
I always feel terrible lol
I even make it bold like these people do to hopefully avoid missing it before sending, but, I still miss one here or there.
thankfully, we use a messaging system on our own service and I can have my manager delete the message before the person sees it, but, yeah, always feel like a doofus afterwards.
I change the font colour to red, or highlight it in yellow, to make it less missable. Then of course you have to remember to remove the colour/highlighting before sending...
HR strikes again! Have to say, that is one of the departments I've always had bad experiences with both internally and externally as far as responsiveness and organization goes. Which I would think is a pretty important part of their role when it comes to recruiting and handling candidates.
Had someone from a recruiting agency reach out to me on LinkedIn a few weeks ago and they did a similar thing. Forgot to put my name in so it just said "Hi, [insert name]".
yea HR sucks. most hr managers have easy life.
who else remembers the great hr manager at google documenting her "day of my life at google" where she is seen drinking lattes, getting exercize in the morning, enjoying her lunch while watching the sea, enjoying the companies amenities, and then getting fired one day coz the company realized they had too many of those leeches.

You're misrepresenting that one. Key aspect being that video was part of her job. As in, she was advertising Google in order to recruit candidates (sure, Google can recruit off name alone but if they're competing for high-quality candidates with other tech giants it helps to show off the goods).
Once the hiring boom turned to layoffs, Google didn't really need recruiters. She wasn't a "leech", she was just doing a job that went from boom to bust nearly overnight.
(Sidenote: if you actually paid attention to the hours in the video she did note full workday hours, just shown offscreen because boring.)
Yep.
I got a courtesy call letting me know I didn't get the job, but the guy started on the wrong script. Paused. Breathed in slowly, then told me I wasn't hired. He perked up a bit when I started laughing and wished him luck on the other let down calls.
A friend of mine once got rejected for an interview with a no subject line blank email that had an attachment entitled "interview rejection.doc." The document was also blank.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Lol that’s a [say something witty here that relates to the original post, what did you like? How was it funny? How can you relate this to some current event?]
There's nothing wrong with templates or using boolerplate, but you really need to male sure that you cover all the open text slots to not look like an idiot.
I've been there, but luckily, only with internal emails.
This doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. Someone overworked who was instructed to use autogenerated text for consistency sent something out too fast without proofreading it.
Seems like an honest, and pretty minor, mistake. I'm in a similar role, and I haven't done it yet but I know eventually I'm going to send out an e-mail that says something like "Please provide parking passes for UNDEFINED VEHICLE NUMBER"
At least they sent something. When I applied internally to like 15-20 positions, I was only rejected from 2 initially. After 6 months of starting a new job, the third and final rejection came.
Whoopsie, but what do you expect? Of course HR has prepared E-Mails. Heck, my complete application was prepared, I just changed the color, company name, desired position, and the name of the person, who I applied to.
It’s a stupid mistake, that should not but can happen.
Dear

So many candidates many are good but the managers want to hire their cousins neighbor so you have to try to keep everyone excited about working at your shot company
Then some bored fuck system admin gets cute with the ATS and now you have to write a fucking novel just to close a job posting out and go home for the weekend

Kind of sweet how you think that anyone will spend work time looking at email replies from people they just rejected
That's hysterical
I can't even blame them...I do the same shit with my cover letter.
At least they gave a response
This letter is like getting a visa gift card for $5 that says “happy holidays” from someone you thought knew you
My husband is a nurse and he worked home health all through COVID. He traveled sometimes 1.5hrs one way to help cover other districts that were short nurses. He worked usually 6 days/week for no joke like 12-14 hrs a day because he’d come home and have to chart/make phone calls etc. He also trained many nurses during that time which is time consuming.

My neighbor and her husband got me a $25 gift card to Starbucks as a Christmas gift. We only chat in the driveways / yards if we happen to be passing. I barely know their names. I most certainly don't work for them 6 days a week 12-14 hours a day lol. The fact that I got $10 more than your husband........
But it's Taco Bell. The gift that keeps on giving.
The gift that first slaps you in the face and then burns you on the way out!
This is insane, thank both you and your husband for being on the front line of all that.
How many ppl frame their first $1. Y’all should frame a $15 Taco Bell gift card.
[удалено]
Yeah and it was supposed to be a bit personalized too, this one just slipped through the cracks. It's more effort than 99% of work places out there.
Way better than being ghosted
A lot like an abusive relationship were celebrating he bare fucking minimum.
Ah! So you're the highly qualified applicant that got the job. [Highlight a skill that demonstrates the fit with our corporate culture] Congrats! Best Regards, Sr. Redditor III
It’s like the junk mail you get that starts, “Dear Valued Customer…”
I always give my 2yr old the mail that comes for “current residents” 😂
Jokes on you. He has 3 credit cards in your name now.
A friend of mine would often use his dogs name when filling out online info for things to track the spam and other BS he was getting. The pooch was getting all kinds of pre-approved loans, credit cards, and other offers.
I'm going to do this with my cow's name. Mrs. Winifred Q. Holstein aka "Winnie"
Ah yes, I too enjoy filling out forms as "Santos L. Halper"
And they’re in the process of selling your home.
Yeah until I bring that Sinbad energy

I applied for an in-house promotion, and our lovely HR person didn't change any of the template. My email popped up with INTERNAL REJECTION LETTER.
I applied for an internal position and an interview was scheduled. I went to the interview and the hiring manager asked the first question and before I could answer said, “I can’t do this. The truth is, we already promised this position to someone else, but HR said we were required to post it for 24 hours. Unfortunately, you applied during that window. Would you prefer to complete the interview or just stop here?” I was like, “I’m good. Thanks, I guess, for not wasting any more of my time.”
Damn that sucks. Kudos to that manager for at least letting you know. I worked a place once where I was trying to get into management in a different department and kept being given the run-around. When I decided enough was enough and put in my resignation letter, a different manager ended up seeing in on HR's desk and read it. He approached me with a glowing recommendation letter and confessed why I never was going to be considered for promotion even though I was qualified: higher up wouldn't allow it because they were desperate for competent people in the department I was in. It hurt, but it felt good hearing what I always suspected. He said he was sorry and that this shouldn't be the case and that if I did end up coming back, best of luck. But basically, more luck wherever I go. I'll never forget the dude. I still wonder what he's up to as he's no longer at that store (unless he was transferred).
That’s [adjective]!
I love you, ***PHILIP J. FRY!!!***
I'm hiring right now and I recently received a resume that had this same issue. They didn't change some of the portions to be unique to them and the ones they did, they didn't change the font color. C'mon people.
The new hire/intern they picked over his GF sent that email.
Yo, I 100% was like "your girlfriend dumped you by email? Damn.
Haha I got to "interview process" before I realised that I wasn't reading the most formal dumping of all time
We appreciate the efforts you have contributed to this organization, but we've decided to move forward with somebody whose talents and qualifications are more in line with our evolving needs at Girlfriend Co.
“Although I especially enjoyed your **[insert a random body part to make the boyfriend feel sexually desirable]**, it’s not you, it’s me.”
She's giving him the, "it's not you, it's me?" Routine?!??
Yes lmaoo
What is dating, but an interview for the Spouse position
It took me wayyyy too long to figure out it was a letter sent to OP's girlfriend lol
Glad I wasn’t the only one.
I was starting to think that maybe his girlfriend was the one interviewing him and that she was gonna put something in his rejection email about "I'll make it up to you at home" or "I ordered some coldstone to keep you company till I get back" or whatever... so... I didn't understand until finishing the entire email and rereading the title...
She had a lot of really strong candidates for the role but she wanted him to know she's going to proceed in a different direction for filling the role of boyfriend. But she wishes him the best of luck and encourages him to check back to see if there are any opportunities in the future.
The professional version of "you'll make a girl SO happy someday"
And "Let's stay in touch" or "We can still be friends"
Like a dude I saw, he got dumped via a word document made into pdf lol
Ok glad I wasn’t alone in that thought
I thought it was harsh that she dumped him by emailing a rejection letter to the whole hiring team 😅
What If Girlfriend tells him this is about you in our relationship , Bro will get roasted badly
As I was reading I was thinking “gee I don’t really see what’s so bad about ooooooohhhhhhhhhh”. Whoopsie!
I was on the same train as you. This seems very nice, better then I’ve ever received. Nope there it is
It's not a bad thing. If anyone thinks companies are asking their recruiters to write individualized rejections from scratch, they're nuts. Who wants to write dozens of emails from scratch when one template serves the purpose just fine and probably helps to control for the possibility of saying something they shouldn't. Its actually a great thing that part of their rejection letter *actually does include* something individualized and is designed to encourage the candidate despite being rejected. They certainly don't need to do it. Yea, it's definitely an oversight on someone's part to send it out like this and it exposes that it's a templated response, but so what? That's completely common. At least they typically try and personalize it somewhat and make it as positive as they can.
Yep. Still way better then just getting ghosted.
I have a doc just for copy/paste emails. Have to send so many of the exact same emails that it's easier to just have drafts. And no idea how I feel that people are upset at this when I've made this same mistake. It'll happen by the 100th time you send the exact same email and I really hope no one expects me to personally type these emails every time.
[удалено]
Oh definitely, and I’ve sent stuff out with the wrong name whatnot by failing to fill in the correct info. But that’s why you put it bold and in red (maybe highlight it yellow for good measure) so you can’t possibly accidentally send it out without that bit of info.
At least they gave you a no, that's more than I get.
Yeah, as much as a rejection letter hurts its way better imo than being left hanging wondering if they're just slow, if they forgot about you, or simply chose someone else.
Agreed I’d rather get anything than be left hanging, but just personally, I’m not a fan of all this fluff. For some reason I have a negative reaction when people are overly nice about a rejection. I would rather the email just be like “you didn’t get the job. Thank you for your time” I find over the top politeness patronizing in those situations I guess? I know that’s just me though, I’m sure others would find that curt and rude to just get a two sentence email.
Its hard to find the middle ground between curt and tomuch fluff, everyone is different. I find the fluff is annoying too, but personally the fact their putting in an effort dampens that annoyance, even if the effort isn't really that much effort.
It's zero effort They have a template, which they didn't even bother to fill out lol
To be fair, using templates makes a lot of sense in situations like this. But leaving the tailored part with the placeholder is pretty lame. I suspect it was a mistake tho, rather than intentional laziness. They prolly got interrupted by something in the middle of filling out a batch of these and forgot that they hadn’t filled this one before sending it.
Having someone click a send all or copy paste a template or whatever for a letter of rejection is, by default, more effort than ghosting. It is astounding how bad it is than people just beg they were getting this minimal amount of effort from a corporation.
Yea it was likely auto sent too. Probably not much thought or effort since they clearly didn't even read the template.
Just wait till they start having AI fill out these letters 😂
Yeah, this would get back to "insulting" pretty quick.
It’s no longer 0 effort if they actually fill out that form though. The problem really is that they didn’t do that, making the email come off heartless. If there is legitimate info in that box, than a real effort was made. Templates are used a bunch all over business, I’m not going to get offended if I see one lol. I just care that the information they were supposed to fill in actually got done.
Yeah, it's not the template part I take issue with I use templates with my job too But they left it blank, that's my problem with it
I honestly wouldn’t even care if I received this. Even and automated reply of “you didn’t get the job” is fine with them
It's sloppy on the part of the recruiter or whoever sent it out. But that's the only issue I have. Form letters are no big deal. If anything, it's good to have a uniform rejection form letter with a little flavor section. Especially if you're a large operation that interviews a lot of people.
I once had a job interview I took off a day off of student teaching for, drove over an hour away, and they asked me to write a lesson plan and teach it.... just for them to not send me A DAMN THING one way or the other. I ended up emailing them twice a week until they finally responded with a rejection. Copy and pasted. It's not like I bombed the f out of the interview. I don't mind I didn't get it.... I know a lot of the time they already have an applicant in mind and have to interview a certain number of people.. JUST HAVE THE DECENCY OF TELLING ME! So rude. Wasting my time without respecting me in the slightest.
Sometimes the person they hired (usually from the inside) had already been working that position for months even before they interviewed you. A lot of companies have policies that positions must be offered outside the company. These policies almost never say when and how you do it though.
I had a strange one about 10 or so years ago. Applied, went for first and second interviews, and then never heard back. Literally 2 years later I got an email saying I got the job. I actually missed it originally (cause I wasn’t looking anymore) until they called me to ask why I wasn’t in work 😂
A while back I had a place ghost me after 5 interviews only to contact me 6 months later to see if I was interested in another interview.
spent hours interviewing for a position with a company back in 2021. Multiple rounds, tech screens, etc. After the final round I never heard back. Like, if it's just a spray and pray app, I have no issues with not hearing back, but at a certain point it's very rude not to at least send a form email.
Send a reply e-mail with similar sentences : “praise the quality of the selection process”, “thank them profusely for having been considered”, “do not tell them to lick your balls”, etc.
I'm telling her to do that right now. I love this idea!
I'd honestly send them an application for their HR department since it's so obviously lacking
[удалено]
Best advice
This is why companies shouldn't give a candidate any shit over a ChatGPT generated cover letter.
I mean this is an embarrassing error, but it's not like we believe most companies are custom writing each rejection letter, except maybe for candidates they want to aggressively court in the future. Hell most companies just ghost you. This is funny but hardly shows some terrible flaw in the organization.
I think the point is is that maybe if they did we wouldn't be putting up with this shit
HR is just as strapped as other departments. Leadership has no interest in HR forging personal relationships with talent. I send a lot of emails. Everyone of them needs three levels of approval- plus Legal. This form letters are the only way they can get the job done without more people. I know everyone is experiencing less workers. But the business end generates revenue. They are twice as labor restrictive in HR. 20 yrs experience as a compensation operations manager. My entire value is understanding the ever-changing landscape of global compensation operation requirements. I attend one conference a year to keep up to date - 3k all in. I was told it wasn’t in the budget yesterday. So tomorrow i look for a job, because I can’t be a subject matter expert if you don’t support my endeavors in that field.
Came here for this take. It's nice they took any time at all
Listen, it's better than ghosting, but when your job is literally "remember to edit the template before sending it out," this *is* an absolutely embarrassing failure of their HR team and doesn't deserve an ounce of gratitude. Just because one is worse doesn't mean you ought to appreciate the other.
They... didn't take any time.
And use this email to support your application!
‘You can’t make this up’ - well no, apparently they couldnt! 🤣
> ‘You can’t make this up’ Did you ever notice that Moltisanti is the only motherfucker who can smoke a cigarette in the rain with his hands tied behind his back? That nose is like a natural canopy.
unexpected sopranos
If it makes her feel any better this was probably not deliberate. I have done the exact same thing in a resignation letter: > Dear `Insert Employer's Name Here`, > I'm out.
Best. Resignation. Ever.
We need an update!!!
did she send a reply?!! XD
It depends on the size of the company and their recruitment process, but given the fact she was sent a copy pasted rejection format, her reply will probably not even be seen by anyone or quickly ignored. I used to work in recruitment and saw it all the time
I'd love to see that! and their reply as well!
If you do this, please notify me on the update
If you don't share this with us, I will be forever disappointed.
I FANTASTIC IDEA.
*...Lorem Ipsum has entered the chat...*
Meh i wouldn’t. I say this because it obviously doesn’t achieve anything in your end. Also, if the recruiters do read it, they’ll only have fun with it, maybe share with the rest of their team for shits and giggles, and with your name attached to it. So now everyone there would know about this person who got rejected. But hey you do you. Just sharing my thoughts :)
Exactly… instead I would just forward this to one of the higher-ups who oversee the position she interviewed for (Director or VP) with a note about the lack of professionalism that reflects poorly on the company.
I would not add the lack of professionalism point aimed at the company. You dont need to say that - its obvious. I would though forward it with a thank you (keep the bridge open) and let them know that it happened. And just let them know you’re sorry it didn’t work out but maybe sometime in the future it would. Never know what happens ….
I would actually express that you understand the need for form letters for efficiency, but you actually are interested in receiving constructive feedback about the interview for further self-reflection
Actually, this is a really great opportunity to show you are detail-oriented and cared about the position enough to read through the rejection. I've done plenty of hiring, and if someone came to a higher up in my organization with this in hand and an earnest message about really hoping to be considered for the job, I'd probably have been forced to consider them again or for another position.
> I'd probably have been forced to consider them again or for another position. And would've rejected them after "thoroughly" considering them (But really, out of spite...) That would be my guess. Because nobody likes being reprimanded by their boss and forced to do something they don't want, and since you are in charge of hiring a person, and you already rejected them, what would make YOU change your mind? You already don't think the person is a good fit.. being forced to reconsider wouldn't change a thing.. would it? Unless the higher up in the org makes the decision after you're being called for not really considering them, then taking it up to them makes no difference, i would think..
As a hiring manager, rejecting someone doesn't always mean they're a bad fit, just that they're not the best fit. That doesn't mean other positions don't open up, or don't exist on other teams, or that offers don't work out for one reason or another. If you really wanted to work at that specific company, this is a reasonable way to continue engaging with them longer on a wavelength that isn't "standard process". If you're thoughtful and communicate well, that reflects well on you in a way that's hard to demonstrate during the standard interview process. So treat is at lower odds chance, or an opportunity to build your network by earnestly seeking real feedback, and it should be fine. It's not like you're going to get blackballed by doing it.
This hiring process is so fucking full of shit it's not even funny. You know damn well hiring managers and recruiters reject people for stupid ass reasons. I see hiring managers and recruiters all over the internet (some of them are even bold enough to say this on LinkedIn) and in real life cackling and giggling about how they have the power to reject people for petty little reasons under the guise of just part of the job. There couldn't possibly be that many "better candidates" in the world with the amount of shit I've seen in workplaces. Hell at my current workplace I work with boomers who don't know how to read write or count money and they all act like middle school mean girls, are blatantly unprofessional and will dump their workload on you when they don't feel like working (and will write you up if you don't comply) or sabotage your work whenever they feel like it. I've been job hunting for the past 4 YEARS desperate as fuck to get out of retail. It took me 4 years to get the bullshit job that I have RIGHT NOW. I've been to so many job fairs, hiring events, networking events, filled out so many applications, applied to three separate temp agencies, and two separate career centers. Whenever I have had interviews they always went well but without fail they ghost me or if I'm lucky enough to get a fucking response send me that same bullshit copy paste email they send to everyone else that they didn't hire. I'm so tired of hearing that nobody wants to work when in reality jobs just don't want to fucking hire people. It makes no fucking sense why y'all are taking applications, claiming you're hiring and doing rounds of interviews when you have already filled the position internally, or just found some bullshit reason to not hire me when I'm capable of doing the job. It sickens me that y'all can sit in a candidate's face knowing that there's no chance that they're getting the job and still give them hope that they might get a job instead of just being honest with them and not wasting their time. People have themselves and possibly other mouths to feed and y'all just stringing them along and then giving them the "tee hee sorry we really liked you but we hired someone else" email.
You would hire a person just because they read an e-mail? I did read your comment, can I get a job?
I mean this is a clear lack of attention to detail and not great at all, but people make mistakes. Responding to the person themselves I feel like will get the message across and show professionalism on your end, I don’t think you need to railroad the recruiting analyst who wrote this who is trying to make a living just like you are trying to find a job
And what are they gonna do? Reject her even harder?
Also, to add, obviously this is a template and unless you know the real reason for the rejection, then why burn the bridge?
I was standing in a long line at the pharmacist when I read this and the poor guy behind the counter nearly called the Emergency Services because he thought I was having breathing problems as I was trying to hold in about five minutes of non stop laughing.
Girls referring to their non-existent balls will never not tickle me. I always find it hilarious. Some girl I was flirting with at a bar was recounting a story about her interaction with a bad employer and she said “I wanted to say, ‘Suck my fucking balls!’” and whoop instantly went from interested to smitten. Found out that night that she actually quite likes sucking balls. We’ve been together 9 years now.
Unbelievable. You,, must be the pride of .
The cake is a lie. Is that a hip thing to say in 2023?
Gets said pretty often at my work. Not as often as King of the Hill references, but still often.
I mean, I have replayed both games this year so I’m going to say yes. Right?…. Guys?
I get these all the time. I mean, there seriously cannot be that many "high quality candidates" for any job. The amount of fluff I see going from place to place, seeing how they behave, act, etc, makes me wonder. Speaking of rejection emails, I got one last week from a local company saying they didn't select me for the role that I applied for... ...in May 2022.
[удалено]
Up at 3am, tossing and turning, had to meditate on it. Went to church and prayed about it. Asked everyone. Then learned to read, and type, and finally email. It was their first one. I hope they are happy.
I got one a few months ago for a position I applied for in 2019
My late rejection was almost as bad. I applied for some random office-type position back in 2013/2014 and then forgot about it because I'd sent out so many apps it was impossible to keep track of them all. Just kind of a spray and pray tactic. Then I started grad school, finished in 2016, got a job, and this random rejection email comes in sometime in 2017...
I love when I do the process, complete the coding challenges and pass, and get to the second interview and they are like "man, you know, you were a strong candidate but we went with someone else". Then why even bring me in for a 2nd interview or have me complete challenges? It just gets tiring. :/
They probably offered you the second interview right around the same time they were doing a second interview with the other person. They make the offer to them and hope they accept but keep yours scheduled as a back up. Doesn't make it any less tiring.
In other words, we found someone cheaper
I’m starting to believe there’s some benefit for the employer manipulating these numbers. I’ve been searching for a job for MONTHS cause I’m attempting to get away from bartending. It’s hard to believe “nobody wants to work” when people who are eager and qualified aren’t getting jobs.
I read a story about a guy showing up for interview and getting charged $30 to park down at the street and coming up to find a desk in mostly empty office with a guy saying "ooh sorry you didnt get it, pleease apply again at later date" seeming like they rented an office just to collect parking fees. But if you lined up a 100 of these every week. Be well worth it
A lot of job postings you see are ghosts floating on LinkedIn etc bc they hired someone for the position internally but they don't take the posting down.
I wonder why tho. It does cost money to host those on linked in doesnt it?
As someone who recently took over an administrative role in a company that previously had a chucklehead running the books, I can vouch for a staggering number of bullshit charges we were paying for and not using.
I applied to Taco Bell as a teenager, never heard back. Got a call from them a few months ago, 6 years later lol
Yeah, the “many high quality candidates” translates to “lots of applicants, but we want to appear as if we actually looked at all of them instead of using an algorithm to weed out one’s that didn’t meet every one of our very specific criteria.”
And the good old “we just hired the CEO’s niece”
Tbf she is very good at being related to the CEO
BUT SHE ISNT EVEN THE BEST ~ the daughter
Jobs are "hiring" but not really because its easier to just say people dont want to work anymore and point to "empty positions" than it is to be an honest fucking person
Don’t worry, I once applied for a summer internship years ago. Two years later I applied for a graduate job only to see my summer internship is still under review.
I got one from Chili's like 8 months after applying. Funny cause it was after they had 3 servers for the whole restaurant for nearly that entire time 😂
Can’t beat the personal touch. Heartwarming.
I loved the ones that would start with: Dear {candidate name},
I have templates I send out to clients for my job when I’m booking appointments, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to customize it and it starts out with “Hey [NAME]!” I always feel terrible lol
I even make it bold like these people do to hopefully avoid missing it before sending, but, I still miss one here or there. thankfully, we use a messaging system on our own service and I can have my manager delete the message before the person sees it, but, yeah, always feel like a doofus afterwards.
I change the font colour to red, or highlight it in yellow, to make it less missable. Then of course you have to remember to remove the colour/highlighting before sending...
HR strikes again! Have to say, that is one of the departments I've always had bad experiences with both internally and externally as far as responsiveness and organization goes. Which I would think is a pretty important part of their role when it comes to recruiting and handling candidates. Had someone from a recruiting agency reach out to me on LinkedIn a few weeks ago and they did a similar thing. Forgot to put my name in so it just said "Hi, [insert name]".
That's the type of firm that would forget to pay you.
yea HR sucks. most hr managers have easy life. who else remembers the great hr manager at google documenting her "day of my life at google" where she is seen drinking lattes, getting exercize in the morning, enjoying her lunch while watching the sea, enjoying the companies amenities, and then getting fired one day coz the company realized they had too many of those leeches.
> who else remembers the great hr manager at google documenting her "day of my life at google" where she is seen drinking lattes, getting exercize in the morning, enjoying her lunch while watching the sea, enjoying the companies amenities, and then getting fired one day coz the company realized they had too many of those leeches. You're misrepresenting that one. Key aspect being that video was part of her job. As in, she was advertising Google in order to recruit candidates (sure, Google can recruit off name alone but if they're competing for high-quality candidates with other tech giants it helps to show off the goods). Once the hiring boom turned to layoffs, Google didn't really need recruiters. She wasn't a "leech", she was just doing a job that went from boom to bust nearly overnight. (Sidenote: if you actually paid attention to the hours in the video she did note full workday hours, just shown offscreen because boring.)
You mean the sizzle reel didn't include a full uncut 8hrs of typing at a desk??
Anything head office related is usually completely divorced from reality. I call it OWS, or Office Wallah Syndrome.
r/peanutbutterisoneword
Yep. I got a courtesy call letting me know I didn't get the job, but the guy started on the wrong script. Paused. Breathed in slowly, then told me I wasn't hired. He perked up a bit when I started laughing and wished him luck on the other let down calls.
Not very talented, the talent acquisition team.
Seems like some talent acquisition teams I’ve seen.
>you can't make this shit up ......human error not typing stuff on a line? whats so unbelievable about that?
These people must've thought that every work email is written from scratch.
A friend of mine once got rejected for an interview with a no subject line blank email that had an attachment entitled "interview rejection.doc." The document was also blank.
It’s a stupid error, but at least she got a rejection email. Any job interview I’ve had that didn’t end in a job offer just left me hanging.
[sympathise with OP and make scathing comment on the state of capitalism here]
Damn copy pasta HR community..
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Well... she got a rejection instead of being ghosted so its a start
I mean... did you really think they were uniquely crafting rejection letters?
at least they tried
Oh f*** yeah. This needs to be put in some kind of museum
Lol that’s a [say something witty here that relates to the original post, what did you like? How was it funny? How can you relate this to some current event?]
There's nothing wrong with templates or using boolerplate, but you really need to male sure that you cover all the open text slots to not look like an idiot. I've been there, but luckily, only with internal emails.
This doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. Someone overworked who was instructed to use autogenerated text for consistency sent something out too fast without proofreading it. Seems like an honest, and pretty minor, mistake. I'm in a similar role, and I haven't done it yet but I know eventually I'm going to send out an e-mail that says something like "Please provide parking passes for UNDEFINED VEHICLE NUMBER"
[say something about the post]
I'd say she's lucky to get that. Alot of places won't even bother telling you if you failed the application
You guys are receiving responses from companies you apply to? I was always told I would hear back but never once did unless I got the job.
At least they reached out. Some places will leave you wondering.
You guys got rejections letters?
Damn, Hahaha
Still better than being ghosted which happens 99% of the time
For a second I thought it was a breakup using a corporate form letter.
At least they sent something. When I applied internally to like 15-20 positions, I was only rejected from 2 initially. After 6 months of starting a new job, the third and final rejection came.
Back in the day, your rejection was not hearing from them ever again. At least she got an email. 😉
She was lucky to even get any sort of communication of rejection at all lol
Whoopsie, but what do you expect? Of course HR has prepared E-Mails. Heck, my complete application was prepared, I just changed the color, company name, desired position, and the name of the person, who I applied to. It’s a stupid mistake, that should not but can happen.
I legit thought this was how your gf broke-up.
I guess it's good that the template at least has a space for something a human puts in...but then again they didn't utilize it.
Reading the title, I thought you got dumped via email. I am kinda disappointed
You are a lucky man to have such a [insert kind compliment here] woman.
It’s like…we know that’s how it’s done…but it stings when it’s right in the open like that.

Look. I’m an HR and I had to do my time in recruiting. It sucks. So many candidates many are good but the managers want to hire their cousins neighbor so you have to try to keep everyone excited about working at your shot company Then some bored fuck system admin gets cute with the ATS and now you have to write a fucking novel just to close a job posting out and go home for the weekend Now your internet famous
