It shows them that I've seen their message, but I won't be responding with my own message in order to pull a request out of them.

I want to try using Google Hire to recruit talent at my company but unfortunately I feel as if I've been conditioned to believe that there is a higher probability of the product being killed compared to its alternatives.
