- 10. Edwins Lament Ive got a simple idea Why doesnt the recruiter just inform the candidate when a prospective employer rejects their application? Id like to hear from recruiters when my application is rejected - so I know which job prospects are still active - and which are dead I could learn - What went wrong, how do I improve - to be more successful going forward Maybe I finished 12th in a field of 10 - but there is another round coming in the future www.RCEURO.com 息RCEURO.COM LLP Tuesday, 9 October 12
