We understand that when a job advert states “only shortlisted candidates will be contacted” and weeks pass without feedback, it likely means one wasn’t shortlisted. That’s fair.
What’s harder to understand is post-interview silence. If a candidate is interviewed and told a decision will be made within a set timeframe, only for weeks to pass with no update, it creates unnecessary uncertainty.
Candidates invest time, preparation, and emotional energy into interviews. Providing closure, even a brief update or rejection, isn’t just courteous, it’s professional.
Clear communication shows respect for people who engage sincerely with your process. Candidates don’t always expect a “yes”, but they do deserve clarity and closure. less
