Why don’t employers tell you bluntly that they have rejected you. Why do you have to wait around forever, then humiliate yourself by asking them what’s next and never hearing back.

It’s so frustrating! I applied to this job and I got really far in their insane, Herculean level recruitment process. The next step was the background check, during which I was told I’d be contacted with a yes or a no (if rejected) to let me know my application status. This was nearly two weeks ago.

I have no idea why I was rejected though and what they found in my background check that presumably made them stop responding to me (as far as I know, I have a clean record, no debt, nothing to raise red flags).

I wish employers would straight up tell you why you were rejected and give you feedback on what you can do for future success. But nope. How are we supposed to learn if we don’t know wtf went wrong. I just hate this so much
