Job hunting is so fucking demoralizing.
At least they tell you you didn’t pass. The norm is not answering.
Had it not been for the second part of the message, I think they wouldn’t have bothered.
This is the reason.
Actually to me this doesn’t sound so bad. Yes OP is rejected and that sucks. Beyond that they ask you to fill out a survey which they hope will improve their future hiring process. I am sceptical that they will get anything useful out of the survey, but I really do not see the problem tbh.
This is probably an unpopular take, and it should be noted that I’m just totally disregarding the whole personal data aspect of this, but… I kinda appreciate it when I’m given some kind of way to provide feedback on stuff like this. If there was one part of the process that was more absurd than even I expected, or if just the whole thing is shit, I prefer to be able to express that. Maybe it just makes me feel better I guess. Sometimes it’s cathartic to chew out a survey form over something that was so egregious that it’s made me angry.
I’m also a huge advocate for exit interviews though. Somebody quits, ask them why, what was good, what was bad. Fire someone, ask them just the same. A lot of my work experience has been yearly contracts where termination is scheduled, expected, and common, but I do think other types of employers would benefit from actually proactively seeking feedback.
This example probably isn’t that and the employer is probably shit, but I just wanted to put that out there.
Had a friend’s dead parent receive a text from the ambulance service asking how they did.
KPM surveys need to go away forever.
"Here is the feedback you requested, blah blah blah blah …
As you have contracted my expertise for improving your HR process, and we both acknowledge that my time is valuable, my invoice is attached below for (x) hours charged at (y/hr), payable upon receipt of this feedback. Failure to respond in a timely manner to the negative constitutes legally-binding agreement of payment. Payment in full is due within 30 business days."
Yeah I know it wouldn’t stick, but might be fun to make them at least waste some time to respond or refute.
That’s literally Sovereign Citizen rhetoric and will earn you a spot on !insanepeoplefacebook@lemmy.world.
Don’t forget to add a red thumbprint at a 35° angle!
At least they had the courtesy to actually tell you that you didn’t make the cut. Most places just never respond.
Smells like a dodged bullet, tho
I try to comfort myself with such thoughts.
Job hunting is so fucking demoralizing.
Hang in there, fam! When you get that first job offer it’ll be worth it.
Probably worth doing if you can write “eat shit” for every answer.
Cheers! I’m in the exact same boat! Perhaps we’re the vanguard of the AI-jobpocalypse…
Good luck!
Thanks! You too!
