Hey - this is nice to hear and thank you for taking the time to review :)

Thank you for your review. I’m Daryl the person who sent out those emails. I’m really sorry you feel there was radio silence as I know how much work goes into an application. I wanted to share what was happening on our end, just so you know we weren't being dishonest. We actually did hire someone in January. However, during their notice period, their current company gave them a massive counter-offer that we simply couldn't match. During this time we rejected everyone in process, because we thought we made the hire. However... when we didnt we had to re-advertise the role immediately (this is what you wouldve seen). Since we already had a few great people in the final stages from the first round, we were able to move very quickly the second time around. I know it can feel like a "bot" is just clicking buttons, but it’s just me and our Head of Ops looking at every single CV. With tens of thousands of applications coming through across the business and with a very lean People team, we unfortunately just don't have the hours in the day to give everyone the individual feedback they deserve - though we do try to be upfront about that in our first email which you should've got after applying? I hope this gives you some peace of mind that there was a real person behind the decision. Truly, I wish you the best of luck with your next move.
