Comment on: Blog Post 'Listening to our Rejected Candidates': ate will look like. This still means a time sink to input any reasons or comments but it's one option. Along the same lines, at a previous employer we reviewed and tweaked our ATS' "rejection messages" a few times a year but also had different messages or letters for certain situations. (Again you'll be limited by what your specific ATS or other system uses but...) This allowed us to send a candidate that maybe had great experience but was looking for a drastically different salary range a different letter than the candidate who was applying for a job he or she was just not qualified or a fit for. At the least I suggest updating the messages every quarter if time allows. 3) While I realize (as you and others do clearly) that candidates always want to tell us that "one piece of information that would have tipped the scales" the purpose of their resume and cover letter is just that. I'm sure that 40-60% of our fellow RBC peeps will disagree on cover letters with me here, but personally - it tells me that you give half a hoot about the job and my time. You're taking the time to make me interested and invested in you and your skills/abilities. A great cover letter catches my attention, allows the candidate a chance to tell me "anything else I should know about him/her", and at the very least shows they did more than just fill in some contact info fields or click the Apply button on CareerBuilder. If the cover letter and resume don't hook me then talking with the candidate further is going to seem a waste of time (harsh but honest). My only caution against the "anything else.." blank on the application is that depending what jobs or industries you're working with you may get some 'overly creative and frilly' responses. (We all know the candidate who thinks standing out to the recruiter is telling us about the 4 cats and raccoon you took in). I'm just one person though and there are many others FAR more experienced to speak to this.…; Added by Kyle Schafroth at 10:05am on March 14, 2012
