    We are deeply honored to have received your application (which we did not bother to read).

    We’re sorry we didn’t hire you, but also never contact us again.

    Signed,

    Someone in HR who has nothing to do with this process.

      At my old company I offered to help with the hiring. I said we should make job postings and just see if a great candidate applies.

      My CEO told me “oh, we already have some postings. Let me give you the credentials”.

      I log in to (BreezyHR). There’s over 2,000 applicants in the last 6 months. Tailored resumes, cover letters, everything. All the effort people put in to applying. Never even acknowledged by someone at the company. Reading the cover letters from people saying it would be such a great fit was kind of sad.
