is it commonplace now not to inform someone if they are not successful for job

[Pat Vegas]

application.

I had been approached last year (in May) by an old colleague who wanted me to join their UK expansion. ideal role the same of what I do now. after several teams calls (they are US) and secret meetings in London with their CEO and whole team. and a few more calls to actually giving me a start date (but no papers) I starting to hear rumblings of them employing someone else, I bumped into this old colleague at a trade show in France where he seemed to know nothing of this person and very much they want me.

long story short they have annouced the other person on linkedin. without even a word to say thanks but piss off. even have their HR manager do it or something.

I wouldn't want to work for them anyway now but still seems ridiculous lack of decency in the world.

I always tell the unsuccessful people by the end of the day, and I do it myself. I'm supposed to leave it to HR but they never actually get around to it.

Everywhere I have ever been in the world there is one constant- HR are ****ing useless.

That is poor form indeed, f.

No matter how difficult the conversation, it always need to be had.

And I wouldn't call an unsuccessful application that difficult a conversation.

Admittedly, some of the worst people I've ever encountered during my working life have been HR people. The nosey, power-hungry types. Cnuts.

I wouldn't call it a remotely difficult conversation . You didn't get the job, tough beat. Move along.

Yanks though. Very much their modus operandi in my commercial experience

I agree with that, but view it more as a generational phenomena. To the youngsters posting something on social media, like LinkedIn, IS communicating. In this case they would consider it a communication to all who were competing for this position. Done and dusted without having to go to all that trouble of calling individuals personally. What an inefficient waste of time! It's pervasive all over our culture. Walk into a shop (shoppe) and the employees avoid eye contact so they don't have to actually talk to you.
I called a business the other day and a machine answered telling me to send them an email. why have a phone number?
