I just had a second interview with hiring managers for a position. I thought it went well. They told me they would contact me within 2 weeks to let me know if I got the job. 20 minutes after the interview I get a generic, automated rejection email that I've seen before. I had an interview with a different company a while ago and received a rejection email following the interview and when I contacted HR they said it was a mistake. Could it be the same thing this time?
I hate that they rely on these automated messages. If I was rejected from the interview why couldn't they wait a week to email me? If it was a mistake then the system is broken. I messaged the original recruiter and they still have not responded to me after an hour. This is nuts. It wastes my time and gives me false hope. It's like they try to demoralize me on purpose. My resume is good and my interviewing skills are solid.
