    Reply - ASSUMING you have a relationship of sorts- more polished than this, yet to the point: "I hate that I was rejected, but look forward to continuing to work with you for other opportunities " and list a, b, c (deadline driven, experienced, development of...)

    Keep looking within their organization and outside of it to keep your options open

    If you've been working with them absolutely. If it's just a robo email then I don't bother.

    If it's an auto rejection I'd say ignore it. If you've been working with the recruiters then definitely respond. Hopefully they don't send a generic template but one with feedback or other opportunities that could be of benefit to you.

    I've done both, depending on the company and position but I have yet to receive a reply back.

    If the rejection email feels generic Football Bros Game and impersonal, replying may not be necessary.
