If a rebuttal allows you to identify a good candidate you would otherwise have missed, that's actually a positive thing though? (I appreciate many rebuttals won't be in this category).

Very often you don't tell a candidate they're not getting the job until you have already filled the position.

Just like you don't tell a job offer 'no' until you've already signed a better offer. There's nothing to gain by closing off options prematurely.

The challenge is one of scale. Anything you do for one candidate you have to for 500. Writing personalized emails in a sensitive way is a significant time and emotional burden.
