He spent more time writing the prompt than he would with just writing an email. I think you dodged a bullet by not getting hired there
I find it amusing that they tried to automate it with variables, etc, but seemingly wanted to make LLM generate a new response every time. Standard once written or even generated rejection form could’ve been more economically sound. But, but - then you wouldn’t up the metrics of AI usage in your department!
As a cost-cutting measure, rejected applicants will be given a prompt and expected to generate their own rejection message. {{Announcement_closing}}.
Reply: You really missed out not offering me a job, as I would have never made such a big mistake. But seeing how unprofessional your company is, I am no longer interested.

Tepid regards
Absolute zero regards?
Negative Kelven regards,
Still better than ghosting I usually get.
I don’t know, I think I’d rather be ghosted
Ghosts are way more eco-friendly than AI, and way less tied up in billionaire wealth.
This is not a meme. This is just sad.
Shouldn’t hide the company’s name.
Employers “mimimi, don’t write your cover letter with AI!!!”
That’s not a meme. This post should be deleted.
Where meme?
This place has devolved into just images some may find mildly entertaining.
If only there was a community for that…
Yeah, the state of things is ugly.
HR departments get flooded with AI generated applications by the truckload, making automating rejections the only viable way to keep up - at least there was a conscious decision here to reply to an applicant, many just ghost them which is just bad form.

That goes both ways. Employers have been auto rejecting applicants for years, so applicants have shifted to automating applications.
Why should someone looking for a job take the time to craft an application, when it gets rejected without a person ever actually looking at it.
Last time I went job hunting (2yrs ago), I got a response from less than 1% of the jobs I applied to.
It sure does. I for my part always used the official EU tool for creating my CV and applications, which made applying somewhere a pretty fast act - if i looked for the next job, i just uploaded the file with my old CV there and could just add what was new. It’s pretty useful even today i think! https://europass.europa.eu/en/create-europass-cv
My experience was not as abysmal as yours, but it also is much farther in the past - last time i was job hunting was around 2016. That 1% response rate is awful… only way to mentally survive that is by not expecting to hear anything back.
