United StatesPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had an early recruiter conversation in the fall, and I was told they’d check with the hiring manager about whether it made sense to start technical interviews immediately since I was graduating in about eight months.

The recruiter said they’d follow up in a few days.

I never heard back. I followed up by email and didn’t get a response, and eventually I received an automated rejection with a subject line that literally looked like it hadn’t been customized. The whole process felt unprofessional to me because there was no human follow-through and no real explanation.

By the time the automated notice arrived, the experience had already soured from the silence. What stuck with me wasn’t even the rejection—it was how poorly the communication was handled after an initial promise.
