I Wonder Why This Number Is Rising So...

Post interview, do most companies/institutions (p*ss takenly) not even bother sending a quick letter of rejection just to conveniently inform the applicant?
Even when it's a short list of around five?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Post interview, the majority of companies write rejection letters to the unsuccessful applicants, if only to avoid the uncomfortable phonecalls from them!
If you don't make it to interview though, in my experience the majority don't consider it polite to acknowledge your application, even with the 10-page application form they made you spend a day filling out!
Hi There!
We always send letters to the candidates after interview offering them the opportunitity of feedback-its only polite as you've given up your time to come and see us!
However, like the earlier comment we don't if you aren't selected for interview-takes too long and costs too much but candidates are advised in their application pack that if they haven't heard by ** date then they are unsucessful.
The only difficulty when advising people after interview is sometimes our managers take too long to decide who they want! Or if we have two candidates who are very close-we may wait in case one turns us down! (Bit cheeky I know but..)
Maybe this helps, I dunno.
