Because of that experience, I make it a point that every single candidate deserves a yes or no response and the company I work for has kept that up.
I used to work in tech recruiting. I guarantee you 100%, no one cares.
As a candidate your only option is to move on or write a bad glassdoor if you are so inclined and move on.
My org was once hiring for a tech position, it was a new role, we weren't exactly sure if the process was right and one candidate sent us an email criticising the process and interviewers. We have apologised and thanked for the feedback, which was brought onboard and used to calibrate and improve the process further. Not every company is the same.
Besides, when we have received that kind of message it immediately raised some red flags. What if the candidate complains on glassdoor or other social media? It would damage our reputation. And frankly speaking, GoDaddy doesn't exactly have a good reputation.
If you company does leetcode puzzles ( I worked at such a company) for hiring and a candidate tells you that they felt like that processes lacked basic human decency. What would you do?
“ I used to work in tech recruiting. I guarantee you 100%, no one cares.”
This does not reflect tech recruiting. People do care and while there are many hurdles to changing a process, we shouldn’t give up because its hard.
What are you going to do about that other than give up?
> This does not reflect tech recruiting. we shouldn’t give up because its hard.
So if you don't care, you should.
Yes, everyone noticed.
Why the personal attacks?
I am merely telling you what goes on. Its not my personal policy or my personal preference. I hated being a recruiter and pivoted out of it.
Do you think FB engineers personally set the policy to ignore rumours against muslims in India from spreading on their platform.

That's definitely helpful to know. Thanks for clarifying.
Nothing wrong with complaining but people often hurl needless insults when they've had a less than optimal time.
Sounds correct. That's why professional tech recruiters are best avoided. Have never seen anything but empty talk and bad matches from them. On either side, recruiting or being recruited. Unfortunately the bigger the HR of a company, the more similarities to outside recruiters.
I worked as a recruiter at a big tech company not a tech recruiting firm.
Recruiting is just a big numbers game, it is nothing personal. Its just the way it is.
Most people here hate white board, leetcode puzzles with passion but you cannot simply "best avoid" it if you want to get into a big tech company.
Do you really think making engineers with 2 decades of experience solve 'trapping rain water' in 30 mins is "basic human decency" ? Do you think they care if you write to them about that?
About 15 years ago I managed a software team and decided I wanted to consider new opportunities. I wasn't sure I was leaving, but I wanted to see what was out there. A recruiter saw my resume, called my workplace to speak to the hiring manager, and offered his services to help the company fill their soon-to-be-vacant development manager position.
The recruiter was happy to reveal that I was considering leaving until he realized I was the hiring manager he was talking to. He quickly hung up.
Not in the EU. You can file a GDPR SAR for any electronic records created during the process, which will probably include the interviewer’s notes.
I don't understand this bit. Did the recruiter input your info in their system and then the system send you a rejection email?
