The shit sandwich is typically sent in the dead of night from a no-reply address. It would help my filtering process if HR personnel would standardize the subject line to COMPUTER SAYS NO.

totally! 404 your job.

Yeah, better have new codes for these: 505, rejection. 707, screening. 909, interviews. 555, offer.

So it goes like this

Subject: status: 505 | position: bla bla

Body: bla bla

Time to create a draft IETF standard.
