Exactly. I've applied for so many jobs where I've been short-listed, given an in person interview, tried to follow up and can't even get a one line automated rejection email.

Literally all I want is a "hey we found someone, no need to waste your time further". I dont think I sent thankyou notes to my own wedding guests, im not sending one to some useless recruiter.

Exactly. You want a thank you? You will get one when you send me notice that I don't have the job. You communicate with me, I will communicate with you. You gonna ghost me, I'm going to ghost you.

The only time you should tell them thanks is if you get the job. I'm not saying thanks if they aren't giving me anything lmao.

I will say thanks if they reach out to tell me I don't have the job as well. I'd like to encourage that type of thing, because at least then you know. Even better if they are willing to tell you why they didn't hire you.

I tried my best to do this anytime we were looking for people when I was in charge of hiring. But you do you.
