Elite Software Automation, a US IT firm, is under scrutiny after a rejection email to a Frontend Software Engineer applicant surfaced on Reddit.
The email warns against any future application attempts, threatening automated declines and blacklisting. Moreover, the company dismisses any excuses for poor performance, stating, "If you were feeling unwell, rushing, or faced technical issues, it does not matter."
This harsh approach has triggered backlash on social media, raising concerns about empathy in the hiring process and sparking a broader conversation about the need for a more compassionate and understanding recruitment approach within the industry.
