It’s a big candidate pet peeve: when a company doesn’t call after an interview. Now it seems, candidates are fighting back.
Savvy HR pros do their best to notify candidates when they didn’t get the job. But when busy HR offices are getting more applications than ever before, the gesture sometimes falls through the cracks.
Candidates who’ve been left hanging have a new way to tell those HR and hiring managers how they really feel — a Web site called emailyourinterviewer.com. Users enter the e-mail address of an HR pro or manager and the site sends an anonymous form letter calling the manager out on his or her treatment of job candidates.
“A quick e-mail or form letter letting the candidate know he or she is no longer under consideration — that’s all it takes,” the letter reads. “Candidates deserve that. And so does your organization, which looks unprofessional when you leave candidates hanging.”
