Data collected from Oct 6th, 2023, until today. All data collected by me.

Applied to 61 job offers on different sites (LinkedIn mostly, but also some minor Spanish job sites). All of them were for Django or Python backend developer (asking for Django, FastAPI or Flask), mostly mid/senior level, but some of them even were for junior level, just in case.

I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

    Yeah. Standard rejection emails are good. I have gotten some really nice rejection emails. I haven't dwelt on them long enough to know what sets them apart.

    I have gotten a couple of rejections and thought: huh, I forgot I applied there. I have been wanting to do a diagram like this for my current job hunt, but I think I am getting a higher percentage of rejections than OP.

    Hello fellow candidate, we're moving forward with other candidate, thanks for your time, regards.

    That's all what I need, tbh.

    I agree with you. If I interview someone, I make it a point to get back with news(good or bad) asap. I don't sit on it. I give the information to my recruiter and ask the recruiter to get on top of a response.

    I don't know if we respond to candidates that don't get interviews. I can recommend it. I'm sure our recruiting software can do it.
