Last week I touched upon the fact that employment rejection letters are an excellent way to preserve a company's "brand" - not to mention the fact that it's good business etiquette. Many applicants are feeling increasingly frustrated with never receiving any follow-up from the companies they have taken the time to interview with.
Enter a newly created feature on the website Ask A Manager: "Email Your Interviewer," a free service that sends an anonymous email to that recruiter who never called you back regarding your applicant status. Simply enter the recruiter's email address, and a polite form letter is sent, imploring the interviewer to "please reconsider [your] practices." The site does caution that this service should only be used when proper applicant protocol has been utilized: in other words, don't fire off a reproachful email to a hiring manager if it's only been a few days since your interview. All things considered, the hiring process can move rather slowly. It's certainly acceptable to call or email the company's recruiter and politely inquire about your candidacy.
That being said - I think this service is an excellent idea.
