How not to Reject Candidates

Twitter’s HR Manager (Krissy Bush) recently sent out a mail CC’ing 186 candidates a Rejection Letter for a Business Product Managers Position (See the image to believe it :) ).

PS: Do not ever attempt this Recruiters :)

This is the probably the worst mistake that I’ve seen in the recent past.

Subject: Business Product Manager Position at Twitter, Inc.

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to apply for the Business Product Manager position at Twitter, Inc. During the course of our recruiting efforts, we come across many fine candidates such as you, and we carefully evaluate each candidate’s background and interests against our projected workloads and staffing needs. Although we are impressed with your background, the hiring committee has decided to move forward with a different candidate.

We will keep your information on file for six months in case future opportunities arise.

Thanks,


Krissy Bush | HR Manager | Twitter, Inc.

Niresh,

1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. Your line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion

Hi Niresh,

My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.

Thanks
