The most difficult part of a job search for candidates is the rejection process. After dutifully filling out an application, most candidates hopefully wait to hear back. Then they statistically will hear 1 of two things… first is nothing, and the second (less common) is thanks but no thanks. Rejection is something both recruiters and applicants deal with, so how can we make it less painful?  Enter Chris Russell, the mad scientist of online recruiting, who believes that a business has the opportunity to make rejection less painful and help your candidates have a better customer experience so they will return to you as a customer and a candidate. Learn about Rejobify and how rejection can enhance your candidate experience and build your employer brand. Are you sabotaging your job search?
