I applied for a job with a large corporation via their Linked-In job posting. Within 1 hour and 20 min, I received the boiler plate "we regret to inform you that we will not be proceeding with your candidacy for this position" email. It as almost verbatim from another very large corporation I recently applied to. I just assumed they were farming for resumes and it was a bot response. 2 days later, I get an email from their recruiter inviting me to schedule "an initial candidate screening phone call." This definitely gives me pause for 2 reasons: It's very unprofessional and it makes me suspicious if this is real. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Yes! This has happened to me. It turns out that I had answered "wrong" to a knockout question triggering the auto-reject but then they decided that whatever it was that I answered was not a must-have. I know this because when I replied to the recruiter, I was just honest about it in the reply email. I didn't want to be embarrassed on the phone call if they figured it out, so I thought it was best to rip off the bandaid.

    Yes, this has happened to me, sometimes within minutes! If you feel comfortable/still like the job, etc., it can't hurt to email them back and say you got this rejection. There's always a possibility it's a technical glitch in the system and it's no one's fault. They'd probably appreciate learning this. You can also learn more about the company in *how* they respond.

    This is why I hate the conflicting advice: apply via LinkedIn, don't, etc. Sometimes it's the only option and then you risk stuff like what you just described and it makes you wonder.

    I am sorry that happened to you!

    First of all, I wouldn’t assume it was bot farming for resumes just because you received identical, rejection letters. Many applicant tracking systems have out of the box default emails and both organizations probably are just using the same ATS.

    Secondly, as an ATS administrator, I can tell you that people make mistakes all the time. All the time. All the time. They incorrectly disposition a candidate and then move them back. The hiring manager changes their mind about something. They accidentally triggered the closure of the requisition and then open it back up again. It is absolutely crazy but, human beings gonna human being.

    In conclusion, please don’t read too much into it! Good luck on your interview.

    Has happened to me more times than I can count. But I’ve been told that the system at times will just throw out these emails automatically and the recruiter or hm has no idea of it. Just ignore it and go to the intvw - you never know it could be your dream role!

    This could have been an automated response based on keywords in your resume and maybe it was the. Looked at by a human , not really sure but applying for jobs now really sucks it took me two years to find a job I have now that I really like , I was in a bad work situation and wanted out badly but I couldn’t quit without another job , in that two years I can’t tell how horrible it was recruiters who never call back companies that ghost you etc , good luck try not to take it personally and get you down just keep going and know it really is them not you

    I can relate. I was laid-off last May (almost 1 year ago!). I had actually started applying for jobs the previous fall but had a similar experience. The lay-off was a blessing in a lot of ways, the main one being that it pushed me out of a job I'd been miserable in for years. That being said, I thought my severance would get me to my next job. :/

  7. Anonymous

    That's why I'm thinking about starting my own business. Sick and tired of this BS and having to be "professional" about it when employers and recruiters don't have to be.

  8. GirlBossanova934974

    This has happened to me two or three times. And it makes the company look very incompetent. This is what happens when you let untrained HR personnel loose with ATS resume software. They configure things incorrectly and before you know it, you have rejection emails going out which should not be going out.

  9. Anonymous

    Please don't let it taint your experience. Most ATS (applicant tracking systems) come with pre-baked responses and a lot of companies use those canned without making their own personalized changes within. The systems are very technical from the administrator side and often the folks making changes stay with the basics. They have bulk features that can be done with one click and yes, people (recruiters-sourcers-recruiting assistants) especially in larger companies do make mistakes. If they have high volume inbound resumes it can happen that the reject gets sent to the wrong folks. Additionally, with technology moving so quickly often the integration between the companies ATS and LI system features is not aligned and can have hiccups when moving data from one system to the other. I have run talent teams in huge companies where this kind of thing has happened. When you get on the screening call with the recruiter do share with them the first mail you got and shrug it off. See how they respond, but I suspect they will chuckle along with you. If you truly want the job and admire the company let it go...and focus on the job content, the interview and your strong fit for the role you applied for.

  10. Krystin Morgan

    This seems like a simple mistake. I wouldn't put much stock in it, and would move forward and talk to them if you're interested in the role/company in general! Everyone makes mistakes and it seems like that's what happened here.

  11. Laura Jarvis-Seibert

    As a person who has used bots like Indeed Linked-In to find applicants for job openings, I can tell you that what probably happened is that the recruiter incidentally put a filter on the search which dinged your resume and auto sent a reply.

    But the resume stays in the bank of potential applicants, which means an actual human has now read yours and liked it. To me that seems like a good sign.
    The annoying bot in this situation may just be the Linked-In AI ?

  12. PJ Deusenberry

    It's the ATS system scanning your resume.
    You don't have the right keywords in your resume. Your can fix this with free services like Jobscan. It works.

  13. Stephanie Branch Lekowski

    No but I have been turned down for a job tell8ng me they found another candidate then seen it posted on all job boards,websites, etc. I guess hoping employers getting their acts together is too much to ask.

  14. Shelby

    A lot of these companies will run each resume through a "filtering" system to see if they contain certain keywords within the resume. If their search doesn't return enough results they go back and look through them manually or re-run through with a broader requirement. If someone seems off to me with a company, I always go to their linkedin page, check it out and see if it's legit, and also go to GlassDoor and see what the page says there.

  15. Karen Lawrence

    AI has taken over many peoples jobs and we as administrative workers should be scared. I have had the same experience. It is not too great.

  16. Monique DiCarlo

    Yes, has happened to me as well.

  17. Linda Schultz

    The same thing has happed to me 3-4 times. It's not just attached to LinkedIn. I've gotten this on Glassdoor as well.

  18. EMILY KIKUE FRANK

    It's the applicant tracking systerm initially filtering you out, only for a human to see the resume afterwards and think it's worthy of a phone screen. It just means those orgs have a human involved in the initial process as a safety net so they don't miss out on qualified candidates.

  19. Shawn Craig

    A lot of recruiting platforms are using AI to do an initial evaluation. The AI may have disqualified you for some reason and then the recruiter likely reviewed it and changed that decision. Agreed that it's not a super great experience but I would probably talk with the recruiter and go through the screening process if you're truly interested.

    Given the quickness that you received the response, I would guess that AI or some other type of automated screening is why you received that email.

  20. Anonymous

    I'd been wondering if AI auto-rejecting from ATS scanners had been part of the process lately. Some emails come way too fast, and as a former hiring coordinator I just don't trust AI to scan everything right yet.

  21. lolita owens

    Yes, this has happened to me and I interviewed for the job after hearing from the hiring manager.

    ATS looking for words and phrases

    With immediate rejection possibly:
    --it's a scam,
    --they weren't really hiring external (or internal) candidates.
    --you aren't a fit

    There's only so few ways to write "no thanks".

  23. Sarah Bojorquez Lopez

    Actually you miss the most likely reason which is it's just a mistake. Rejection letters usually aren't sent out manually they're sent out automatically which means there's a lot of room for error there.

  24. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    It could just be a simple mistake. I just had a hiring manager reject a candidate last week - I followed up with him because we had the candidate scheduled for a phone interview and he didn't even realize he had rejected the candidate.

    People make mistakes. It happens.

  25. Sarah Bojorquez Lopez

    As a recruiter I can tell you what probably happened as they had the settings on their ATS wrong. It was probably supposed to send out a thank you for applying letter and somehow it set out a you're not qualified letter. These things do happen and it's not really a reflection on the company. If it's a place you wanna work I would say go to the interview and try it. Sometimes accidents just happen and that's far from the worst thing I've ever done LOL.

  26. Tina May

    What is required for a resume to pass ATS?

  27. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    There is no getting past the ATS. The goal should be to get INTO the ATS so you can be considered for the position.

    There's also no such thing as an ATS-compliant resume no matter how much someone wants to charge you $1,000 for one.

  28. Anonymous

    Sarah is correct as a recruiter and behind-the-scenes incorporations technologies not perfect human beings aren’t perfect and sometimes things just happen accidentally it doesn’t mean anything other than that.

    It is a reflection of the company I am sorry to break the news. Companies need to get these things straightened out.

  30. Danielle Bleser-French

    THIS! When I read that she got an automated message an hour and a half later, that was my thought exactly--it was probably meant to be "thank you for applying" message. People sometimes forget that recruiters are human too. There is a LOT of moving pieces we are managing...and we try our level best to keep everything on track, including automated messages. I don't think this is a reflection of the company at all--just a recruiter that made a mistake uploading the wrong outgoing message. Does it stink? Yes. But you should probably let the recruiter know on your call (which you should definitely set up) as they probably have no idea.

  31. Anonymous

    Having incorrect settings is 100% on the company.
    I’d question that company’s attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and general attitude toward what they do if they’re not making sure they have their things in order.

  32. Anonymous

    A spelling mistake in a candidate's CV is seen as a "red flag", but a company sending out an entirely wrong email is not a reflection of the company?! Come on. It's time HR stops downplaying their shortcomings.

  33. Beth Stevens

    As a recruiter, I'm often seeing applications that are submitted through avenues that are NOT the company's employment page, which can lead to issues with formatting and contact information being masked when I go to view the application and resume in the ATS. I would recommend that if you see a posting on LI or some other job board that interests you, go to the company website directly to apply. Yes, it's a few more steps, but it would indicate to me that the candidate took some interest in actually learning more about the company via their careers page on their website.

  34. Danielle Simon

    I try to do this and at least half of the time don't even see a careers section/anywhere jobs would be posted. It seems like some companies do solely rely on sites like LinkedIn, which sucks because, as some other comments have said, LinkedIn also has jobs for which companies aren't even hiring.

  35. Anonymous

    As a hiring manager, I have seen a few "applications" come from LinkedIn and they are formatted poorly, they don't have all of the pertinent information, etc.
    Basically you don't get what you need. If I think the person is someone to speak with I'll have the recruiter do a screen but it is a lot harder to tell if they are a fit (especially if their LinkedIn page is sparsely filled out) so if you have definite people who are qualified, you might skip the "maybe" they are qualified. I would agree - go to the company's site and fill it out there. Also tells you if the job is currently open or not. LinkedIn and other job crawlers are often outdated.

  36. Anonymous

    I always go to the corporate website to apply. However, if ATS does not forward your information to HR, it is a mute point. I tailor my resume for the job I am applying for and list the qualifications I have in the job description. I know you mean well, but I am sure you never see resumes for many qualified applicants, and that is not your fault. It happens.

  37. Beth Stevens

    I'm not sure why you would assume I don't see resumes for qualified applicants? I've had no problem finding qualified candidates to fill the hundreds and hundreds of roles that I've recruited for during the 20+ years that I've been doing this. The number of applicants that go through the actual company website and provide a detailed resume far outweigh the number that submit their application through a job board. My post was only to point out that completing an application through a job board often create issues on the recruiters' side which could lead to otherwise qualified applicants being dismissed because contact information is missing or formatting makes the resume illegible.

  38. Beverly Molnar

    Personally I don’t trust anything I see on LinkedIn. I applied for a job via a LinkedIn post once and got a response from the company saying “we filled this position months ago.”

  39. Anonymous

    yes, Ive had this happen. If you are still interested, reach out to the recruiter and set up the screening. So much is automated these days and it's sad, but true. But you can't change that. Good luck!

    Yes happened to me several times in the last 6 months. I had actually messaged the hiring manager within 10 mins of her post. And after 20mins I got a reject. Can you imagine!

  41. Anonymous

    I was told my a recent new hire that she experienced the same thing with my organization.

    I'm in marketing and use automation a lot. Our HR department has never asked for assistance setting up automated processes in their recruiting software.

    Since it's such a common experience for people to get a rejection only to have that organization engage with applications, part of the issue seems to be a software training gap within the HR role on a larger level.

  42. Anabel Ruiz-Morales

    As a Recruiter, I know that ATS software programs vary and a lot of the times the software is general. Unless the company has paid more money to get it calibrated for their specific needs.

  43. Q

    This sounds like it could be a technology issue. A bug, a setting not properly fine tuned.

  44. KellyW43

    This happened to me once. It was after an interview. I received the canned response and then I received a call from the company a few days later. They needed me to fix a couple of things on my application. Due to the time frame being off with my resume(honest mistake) I got the canned response. I fixed it and ended up getting the job.

    So don't completely count it out, but you can be cautious.

  45. Anonymous

    I only ever apply via the corporate site if at all possible. No 3rd party recruiters and if the position is not listed, it probably was an old post on LinkedIn or that "resume farming" (which I find recruiters do, not companies).

  46. Anonymous

    Thats great, but most Fortune 500 companies use Workday's HR software. Going to the corporate site is no guarantee you will reach a human. You cannot get around ATS and HR software that uses AI algorithms that have decision models to determine if your resume actually reaches a person. This is beyond 3rd party recruiters. I welcome a 3rd party recruiter at this point. At least, I can discuss my qualifications with a person who sends my information to the client. This is just the cold hard reality. Welcome to hiring (OR NOT) in the 21st century.

  47. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    Yes, the phone interview happened as the interview had been scheduled because the hiring manager had expressed interest in the candidate.

    I actually had to open a trouble ticket to get his status changed back to "hiring manager phone interview" in the system because once a candidate is dispositioned out, I can't change it.

    I called the candidate and explained that he will probably a receive an email telling him that he was no longer in consideration, that that was a mistake and to please ignore it and make sure he showed up for the interview because he had stood the hiring manager up the first time the phone interview had been scheduled. You may get a second chance but you're not going to get a third - not with my hiring managers - they're too busy to get jerked around.

  48. Anonymous

    That is entirely dependent on the size of your company, your needs, and your resources. A global enterprise that requires full ERP integration needs something different than the local clothing boutique that just wants to be able to receive resumes online.

    I work in the “full ERP” space where there aren’t too many options, but there are more options as you get smaller and smaller and the needs get simpler.

  49. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    No where in my comment did I say that the rejection letter was sent before the first interview. It was not.

    He had a phone interview scheduled with my very busy hiring manager and he stood the hiring manager up. The hiring manager did what a lot of my hiring managers will not do - he gave the candidate a second chance.

    The accidental rejection happened after he stood the hiring manager up for the first interview, after he had been rescheduled but before the rescheduled interview took place.

    '

    'We most certainly did not jerk him around.

    Because I am so on top of our candidates and where they are in the process, I noticed that he had been accidentally dispositioned out and was able to correct the issue. There was no "auto-email blunder" - that was human error on the hiring manager's part.

    We're a great company to work for - that's why we were just once again voted a "Best Places to Work" company.

    So maybe find out all the facts before you start insulting myself and my company and how we treat our candidates.

    Just ignore the foolish mean spirited message from the person who mailed you before your reply. Mistakes happen and ATS's automation is hard coded in some spots where you need IT to undo what was done as you described. And yeah hiring managers make mistakes too.

    We both know being in the talent function this is just another blame the recruiter nasty comment which is not called for. That job seeker clearly has never made a mistake ever....and a judgemental one as well.

  51. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    I'm not going to ignore her. I don't understand why she's sticking up for someone who was rude and stood up a hiring manager.

    And then seems to think it's a bad thing that we made it right by giving the candidate a second chance.

  52. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    YOU SAID: "You're posting actually tells us more about your company and yourself as well."

    Yes - it tells you that humans work at my company. Humans make mistakes.

    YOU SAID: "You admitted that a blunder had been made and that you don't want your own people to be jerked around."

    Yes, I sure did admit that a mistake had been made because - GASP!!!!!!! - the hiring manager is a human being and humans make mistakes. They occasionally press the wrong button.

    Since you're holding myself, my hiring manager and my company to such a high standard, I can only assume that you are perfect and never, ever make a mistake. How special for you.

    I most certainly don't want my own people to be jerked around.

    If you are rude enough that you stand my hiring manager up for a phone interview that you have agreed to and he is nice enough to give you a second chance at that phone interview, you better not jerk him around and waste his time by missing your second chance interview.

    What, specifically, is your problem with a candidate not being rude AGAIN and missing their second chance interview?

    The candidate was not "blind sighted" - correct term is blindsided - by ANYTHING. He had not received the rejection email as our rejection emails are on a delay - when I reached out to him - so he didn't know anything about the rejection email until I told him.

    It's not a crap ATS - the ATS doesn't do anything on it's own - it did exactly what the hiring told it to do by hitting a specific button.

    I'm not exactly sure why you're taking the side of a candidate who stood up a hiring manager when we did everything right.

    We gave the candidate a second chance for a phone interview, caught the error and told him about the error even though he hadn't received the rejection email.

    YOU SAID: "You're posting actually tells us more about your company and yourself as well."

    I hope it does. I hope it shows our attention to detail, our willingness to give second chances, our willingness to admit we made an error and our commitment to a great candidate experience.

    That you're standing up for a candidate that was rude and stood up a hiring manager for a scheduled interview where he had agreed to the date and time says a lot about you. That you seem to think that rude behavior is ok and that it's ok to jerk hiring managers around says even more about you.

  53. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    I'm not angry. I will always stick up for my hiring managers. I will always stick up giving the best possible candidate experience. I will always stick up for doing the right thing.

    YOU'RE the one who insulted me, my company and how we treat our candidates. I have every right to defend myself from your baseless accusations. I won't be bullied on this forum or any other.

  54. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    I did not say the system blundered - I said the hiring manager clicked the wrong button. The ATS doesn't make decisions on candidates. It can only do what humans tell it to do.

    And wow - there seems to be an awful lot of perfect people in this thread who apparently never make an error.

    Which, no harm, no foul. The candidate was moved to the next step and given a chance to have a make up interview for the one he stood the hiring manager up for.

    The candidate got a second chance that many hiring managers would not have given and many companies would not have given - so how is our hiring and recruiting process less than desirable?

    And what does Workday have to do with anything?

  55. Leah Haggerty

    There are a million reasons this happens. Sometimes, there is already an internal candidate, but the organization posts the job in line with their affirmative action plan. It’s generally unlikely an external candidate will have superior experience than the person who has been the succession plan candidate. Sometimes the plan falls through and external candidates are then needed.

  56. Anonymous

    Yes. I know. Legally, they have to post the position even if they have someone in mind. However, they can post it just internally. Why post the job exteranally if you only want an internal candidate? They are wasting people's time. Home Depot does this ALL THE TIME. I actually reached out to an employee there who performs similar work that I am qualified for, and she told me she spoke to the recruiter, and they were only considering internal candidates. Like to hire from within. OK. Stop making it look like external candidates actually have a chance, and stop postiong jobs externally. Simple.

  57. Carol Rousseau

    Yes,to me several times. They are using AI nowadays and I think it is very unpersonable and it's a robot reading your resume

  58. Maggie Stone

    The general theme here is that the ATS is at fault. I do get that HR folks don’t have time to look through hundreds of resumes/applications or send personalized emails, but we have literally taken the human out of Human Resources .

  59. Anonymous

    This happens to me all the time. ATS or the AI algorithms used in HR software from companies such as Workday reject applications immediately, and the application never reachs a person even if you mirror many of the skills listed on the job listing that ou possess. I have even applied to a job, gotten and email confirmation I applied, and then looked at the status on the Workday site, which listed the application as not submitted. Unfortunately, it looks as if this is the present and the way of the future. I don't apply for jobs I am not qualified for and only apply for jobs that fit my skill set, so it makes me wonder who is actually getting the jobs and how. I have two Master's degrees and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with over 17 years of professional experience, which makes me wonder if the ATS system is looking beyond qualifications and at age and other factors. Welcome to the black hole of applying for jobs in the new age. I have been searching for a job for over a year now and apply diligently every day. It is very discouraging, and someone needs to ring the alarm on this practice of hiring using ATS systems.

    I am similar to you. I have a Masters and bachelor's degree from an accredited professional degree program and have 18+ years of experience in the field. I'm applying for jobs I'm very qualified for. I'm also starting to wonder about age discrimination. I was laid-off almost a year ago so I've been in the hunt for a while.

    EXACTLY! However, they can always point the finger at the third party HR software company. The 3rd party HR software companies are not transparent on the AI algorithms they use, so there is no accountability. We don't know if we are considered or what the criteria is for the AI algorithm. Are they only considering the first 100 applicants, do does the system review all resumes with certain qualifications, etc. We just don't know. We just tailor our resumes and hope we get selected or passed on to the HR representative. I have been doing this every day for a year. It is a total cop out. Who's getting these jobs? How? They can virtually do what they want until we start speaking out, and Congress does something about it. I wrote the President of the United States and my two State representatives about this. It is time they start hearing from us, and I hope you all do the same.

  63. Joan Williams, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

    As I have already clearly outlined in multiple posts, this is what happened:

    The candidate applied and was scheduled for a phone interview at a date and time that he selected.

    The candidate stood the hiring manager up for the scheduled phone interview.

    The hiring manager was nice enough to give the candidate a second chance and had the phone interview rescheduled.

    The hiring manager accidentally clicked a button that dispositioned the candidate out.

    Because the candidate had stood the hiring manager up, I went into the system the same day to find his phone number to call him to find out why he had stood the hiring manager up.

    I noticed he had been dispositioned out.

    I asked the hiring manager why.

    He said he hadn't meant to do that.

    I called the candidate to tell him that if he got a rejection email - which had not been sent yet, so he never even received it - to ignore it and to make sure he showed up for his rescheduled second chance interview.

    How, specifically, did we violate the candidate's rights by giving him a second chance?

    What "three strikes" are you talking about? The candidate blew off his first scheduled interview and we gave him a second chance by rescheduling.

    How many times, specifically, do you think a candidate should be allowed to blow off an interview?

    How, specifically, is scheduling and then rescheduling a candidate "brushing them off"?

    We did NOT tell the candidate no. We told him yes and then told him yes AGAIN when we rescheduled his phone interview.

    Where, specifically, did I say anything even remotely like "the company holds all the cards here".

    That's very nice that you say you "stand up for job seekers who have been mistreated". This candidate was in no way mistreated. We went above and beyond to give him a second phone interview.

    What "retaliation" are you talking about. Please elaborate.

    You have made many accusations in your post that I expect you to address in your response.

    Not in the same day let alone an hour and 20 min. I’m going to guess that they have really taken advantage of the ATS to auto send a rejection if you don’t have all the keywords. To avoid this, look for an online tool that compares your resume to the job description and tells you what you are missing. Then update your resume with missing keywords. They’re using AI, so we need to as well. I’ve used this one:

    You are correct; Google and Meta don't use Workday HR software, and I have applied to both organizations on their official website. However, there are so many fortune 500 companies that use Workday HR software, and a few are as follows: FedEx, Verizon, AT&T, Equifax, TMobile, Traveler's Insurance, Home Depot, Motorola, Capital One, Citi, etc.; I have applied to all these corporations on their official website as well. I have applied to hundreds of jobs that use this Workday HR software. SMH

    On a company's website, their system had the capacity to save and continue the application process later. I saved the app, stepped away and upon my return, checked my email and had received a rejection email.

    Hadn't completed the appl, nor hit submit. I contacted the company, they admitted the mistake and offered to let me complete the document. I refused because of their preconceived bias and we both knew it wasn't a mistake.

    have you experienced Workday + Phenom? If so, what did you think of the combo?

    I have not used Workday * Phenom yet. But I will. We are transitioning to that system early next year.

    I hope it's better than the candidate side because when I was in my own last job search, I hated Workday. And Taleo and iCIMS.

    Do you have experience with Workday + Phenom? If so, what do you think?

    Thanks! We are probably ending up with Workday+Phenom/Eightfold so fingers crossed it’s a better applicant experience…. Nobody will believe it but ATS administrators don’t actually want to torture candidates. ☹️

    Right? And it not like we get to pick what ATS we use.

    Ugh 8fold - we just implemented that a few months ago - we're still having training on it. When it first went live, it made our ATS lose it's freaking mind. It was my understanding that 8fold and Phenom are similar - because we're losing 8fold when we implement Workday + Phenom.

    some recruiters are getting major information for their benefit and selfish intent.
