Have you started responding to job applications yet?

I've had friends apply for positions (with amazing, enticing and fun cover letters), and then, after a week or so of hearing nothing following up to ensure that you've received their application only to to continue to hear complete silence.

Sending even a form rejection email takes no time at all, especially if you create a task reminding you to do so. Not responding when someone has put in a large amount of effort to create a tailored resume and unique & fun cover letter is extremely rude.

I switched task manager over this treatment and makes me embarrassed to call myself an Aussie.

We used to have the following on our jobs page, to try and let people know what to expect: "If you send us your resume, we'll try to get back to you within 5 business days if there's interest. (We'd love to be able to respond to everyone, but we're pretty swamped with email every day.)"

We realised, of course, that this led to a pretty crummy experience (as your friend found out, sorry!). Not everyone saw that message, and those that did likely still wondered if anyone had actually seen their application.

We recently removed that message from our site, and now respond individually to each email (typically within 24 hours) to confirm receipt and let the sender know when we expect to have reviewed their application by. We definitely appreciate the effort that many applicants go to, and want to keep people much better informed throughout the process (we learnt our lesson on this!). Please pass on my apologies to your friend!

I knew you were hiring cause I saw it on some newly launched job board some time ago (reddit maybe?) but I was wondering: since you are in sydney, isn't time difference with remote workers an issue?

(I love my current remote job and don't want another but I think RTM rocks :)

A friend of mine applied for a position at RTM but the staff didn't even respond to the application. They didn't even respond to the follow-up email asking if they received the application.

You might be hiring, but you don't seem to be doing it very well.

Maybe they just forgot to reply. It's hard to remember to do things.
