Hiring - Vent
When screening resumes I send a curtosey "You do not meet the minimum qualifications" standardized email to people who honestly do not meet our minimum qualifications. Why in the world to people email back "Why not?" and other various forms of that. I came in to 25 resumes this morning for one position. If I had to explain to everyone why they didn't meet our qualifications, I would never get the rest of my work done. We're looking for specific experience (as described in the job posting) and they don't have that experience. How is that so complicated?
Re: Hiring - Vent
You're brave for even sending that much information out. I would of just sent "Thank you for your application" emails. If you really feel inclined send a "We thank you for resume and we have picked our candidates for the next step of the hiring procces, good luck on your job search"
I think you may have opened up some flood gates with your email. Leave it as a blanket statement because some applicants may have really felt that they met your qualifications.

We always use some variation of this with our thanks but no thanks letters.
As a current job hunter, I love those emails right below an actual call for an interview. At least I know that my information was received, on the other hand I don't get upset if I don't receive an email or rejection letter.
The only time I get really annoyed is if a recruiter doesn't call me either way after an interview. I realize some people may react poorly but I usually like to know what I can improve upon for the next interview.

Kudos for actually responding to applicants! As a job searcher who spends A LOT of time on applications and tailored resumes/cover letters, I appreciate getting a response, especially from an actual person (which I don't think I've ever received)...
I sometimes will apply for a "stretch" job, but usually know if I am not truly qualified. I do feel for recruiters who get 1000s of resumes because frustrated job seekers send out their resume in mass to any employer hiring without regard for how their skills match the position. Also, some folks will apply for jobs they know they are not qualified for just to meet the requirement to collect their unemployment.
I like the response above ("We thank you for resume and we have picked our candidates for the next step of the hiring procces, good luck on your job search")
While it is a canned response, it does a good job of letting job seekers know that their application was received but they were not selected so that they can move on and not be left wondering. It says "you are not qualified" without actually having to say it.
Personally, I'm guilty of applying for jobs I'm not entirely sure I qualify for because the area I live in is especially hard to find decent work.
My only thought is to set up a seperate email for this type of standardized email and put in there something saying do not reply or something to that nature. If it's not a specific person emailing them they may not feel they are able to reply...maybe emailing them directly gives them a link into the company.
