Hello reader! You are reading a blog about HR written by Heli Toivonen. If you are interested in stuff such as recruitment, employer branding, social media and HR technology with focus on Finland, just keep on reading..
What do you think about this service which is offered to job seekers by “Ask a Manager”:
Interviewed for a job and then never heard back? No rejection, no anything? Let your interviewer know how rude that is - without burning any bridges.
Now here, presented to you by Ask a Manager: a service that job seekers can use to generate an anonymous letter to the employer, telling them how rude their silence is.
First, read the instructions to the right. Then, using the form below, submit the email address of the employer who never responded to you. They’ll get a polite letter explaining why their silence is rude. The letter will be sent from this site; the employer will not know that you are the sender…
I agree that it IS annoying if you are a job seeker sending applications to and being interviewed by prospective employers and then never hearing back from them. I also find the idea of giving feedback to the employers fantastic but seriously, why should somebody send it anonymously via an unknown web page? HR people are always teaching others how to give and receive feedback and they should be able to cope with honest and personal personal feedback from a candidate without considering it as a way of burning the bridges.
So if you are annoyed because you did not hear back from the recruiter, my advice is to take the following steps: 1) search for his/her phone number 2) dial the number 3) introduce yourself 4) give your feedback 5) thank for his/her time.
It is so simple!
