Background
With an ongoing cost of living crisis, and jobs being in high demand, those searching for employment are applying to every job they can. Within hundreds of applications only a very few may lead to interview, or even to a notification of rejection. Employers should have the courtesy to let applicants know if their application has been rejected, even with a generic email, to ensure applicants do not hold false hope that they may be successful, and to put their time and energy into other pursuits.
