“ You could also write personalized rejection letters that tell the applicant why they weren’t selected to continue with the hiring process. That could help the applicant in their future job applications. But you don’t do that. I wonder why!”

Dear lovehashbrowns,

We are unfortunately decided to proceed with other applicant this time because even if you have roughly the required work experience for the position, based on your cover letter and resume you seemed to be generally unpleasant people to be around.
