What do recruiters really think about follow-up and thank you emails from rejected candidates?

The truth is that,even after a hectic interview day,most recruiters will always remember a great candidate,the candidate that thrilled them by answering questions that were put across during the interview session...a candidate might not be selected due to some reasons.It could be the qualification and experience required for the position.So when a candidate gets rejected by a recruiter and he still goes ahead to send a thank you note to the recruiter.The recruiter will be amazed,sees the candidate as a goal getter,focused,confident,hopeful and relentless.The recruiter will always use that candidate to teach people what determination really is.Those are the skills required by a job seeker as well.When there's another opening that matches the candidate's,he'll be called on.For instance,someone who was denied a sales position at Professional Document Solutions in March called Ms. Shober once a month for three months afterward. "She took a risk again and again, which showed determination and confidence," she says. "She was professional and polite, each time thanking me for taking her call." When the company later decided to create a new sales position, the former candidate was offered the job.

Getting rid of the applicant who does not match the electronic screening system is nothing more

They think that candidate has respectful mind and may be accepted in the future
