    Wouldn’t it have been easier to just get AI to wrote the message and then just use that same canned response going forward instead of using AI to generate it each time? What a waste of resources

      If it’s a canned response, why not just do it yourself? It’d take like 5 minutes. Oh, those skills are rotting because AI? Yeah.

        Also people don’t know how to be social anymore so they find it easier to tell a robot to write a warm rejection email rather than writing one themselves.

    He spent more time writing the prompt than he would with just writing an email. I think you dodged a bullet by not getting hired there

      I find it amusing that they tried to automate it with variables, etc, but seemingly wanted to make LLM generate a new response every time. Standard once written or even generated rejection form could’ve been more economically sound. But, but - then you wouldn’t up the metrics of AI usage in your department!

      Reminds me of how “The Man from Mars” (by Stanisław Lem) finally understand what humor was about. Look at most jokes ignoring the humor and you find be an endless stream of tragedies.

    Remember to use candidate name and company name variables.

    Well it looks like this reminder worked 😆

    Why not just say “we are sorry but we will not be moving forward with your application at this time” like a normal person?

    Unless…

      Why not ghost the candidate which seems to be the most normal response these days for some reason

        As someone else in the comments here pointed out, if it’s a regional/local franchise or a small business then they could reveal their own location by revealing the company’s name.

    This has increased after AI. Heck rejections come within a few seconds of applying. Once I got (what I presume an internal-only info) something akin to “this opening is just for compliance reasons. We are actually not hiring for this position”. This placeholder was sent with rejection email (again presuming its for internal info only)
