Running it, start to finish

  1. Reply graciously within two days.
  2. Ask one specific feedback question, ideally of the hiring manager.
  3. Track which stage rejections happen at across applications.

What you get back

The output this produces, every time.

  • Writes the gracious reply that almost nobody sends and that does lead to later hires.
  • Asks for one specific piece of feedback, which gets answered far more often than a general request.
  • Sets expectations that many companies will decline to give feedback as policy.

Getting better results

Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.

  • Send the reply within two days. It costs two minutes, is remembered because it is rare, and roles reopen more often than people expect.
  • Ask the hiring manager, not the recruiter. They have more latitude to answer and considerably more useful insight into why.
  • Look for patterns, not lessons. One rejection tells you almost nothing. Three at the same stage tells you where to concentrate.
