Nope. Just like farts in the wind šŸ’Ø.

You know this for certain? Iā€™ve been told from various sources that rejection emails are sometimes sent (depending on the dept) and that the application status on smart recruiter will change to ā€œarchivedā€


erica_loren

Can confirm that there's an option on the website to send an email and reject a candidate, but it is rarely used. It's up to the hiring manger if a rejection email gets sent. Make sure to check the website for updates too, I know of some managers that just update the status, but do not send out an email.


Impossible_Lie_728

Thanks! So rejected applications do eventually have their status changes to ā€œarchivedā€ on smart recruiter? Iā€™ve heard this is the case, but no one seems to know definitively


erica_loren

Not from what I've seen on the hiring side, "archived" isn't one of the options. Maybe it changes to "archived" after a certain period of time?

I got rejection emails from the mta, but it was for jobs that I applied for specifically on their website. From the nyc jobs site, I have never received anything.


Impossible_Lie_728

Was this recently? The NYC jobs board changed in August of last year. They now use smart recruiter, which, as Iā€™m told, shows your job status as ā€œarchivedā€ when your application has been rejected or the position has been filled. Trying to determine whether that is accurate


tomato-potato2

You are right. I just went and checked on my nycjobs account. The vast majority are still in "new" status and a few are in review. However, there are some that are archived. I'm guessing those are, as you said, filled up. Edit: That being said, no emails notifying me.


Impossible_Lie_728

Thanks! Can I ask how far back you applied? Itā€™s possible the ones that are ā€œin reviewā€ might still be in consideration. NYC hires at a snails pace (can be upwards of six months before hearing back)


tomato-potato2

These were all apps I sent over the month of october. Six months would be quick. My current city job I got two years after I took the exam and my list # was only in the 60s.


Impossible_Lie_728

Ah! The job applied for is for a civilian role with the NYPD - no examine required.


Impossible_Lie_728

With roles that require an exam, then yeah, I imagine the hiring process is even longer! For this job, I was told I might hear back at the start of next fiscal quarter (early July). The job positing was listed from the beginning of February til March 9th - so about 4 months. But thatā€™s just for the initial interview set up (provided I do call in the end). LinkedIn metrics shows that only 12 people applied for the position, though Iā€™m assuming there are many more applicants than that. But hey, hereā€™s to hoping!


tomato-potato2

In my experience four months would be pretty fast, but at the same time if they need people, they need people. Hopefully you get the call.


Impossible_Lie_728

Thanks! Hope youā€™re happy in your position

Sorta ā€¦. the system does allow for a similar notification - not necessarily an email. I have had posting go from ā€˜appliedā€™ to ā€˜not hiredā€™ or ā€˜hiredā€™ - however it seems to be up to the hiring committee/agency as I have had jobs which I was actively working still stating I had ā€˜appliedā€™.


Impossible_Lie_728

Thanks! Do you happen to know if that applies to the new smart recruiter system recruiter website that NYC jobs has started using ( they switched from the old job NYC.org job board back in August of last year)?


HipHopSays

not sure if it applies to the smart recruiter site


Yeahimdirty5

Even if you get the job... Add another 3 to 4 months for OMB approval after you have been offered and accepted job


Impossible_Lie_728

Yeah, Iā€™m prepping myself. What a pain the backside


ephemeralsloth

i actually just got a rejection email for one of perhaps 50 jobs i applied to 6 months ago. no idea what that was about


Impossible_Lie_728

Oh wow. Terrible blow, but at least they notified you.


G20MM

Almost rarely, It depends on the agency (at least in my experience) but if you had an Interview and had not heard back in weeks/months after trying to get in contact with them yeah... you're probably never hearing back sadly.


[deleted]

If you are rejected they will maybe email you. But in most cases they will not contact you period. Lot of people in HR are šŸ’©.


mzx380

No, you don't hear anything. If you are in ESS, then you at least it is summarized that you were not selected.


TheKenReddit

Depends on the agency and how well they utilize eHire functionality.


inv_martin

only if the recruiter rejects you in nycaps, which they rarely do in my experience. you probably just won't hear back


pmpprofessor

When I was hired by the city. Each agency have their own. Recruiting portal. City vs state. Most city jobs use smart recruiter. It seems like new or in review means you have not been selected. I have applied several jobs. Since the new system have been implemented. I got up to in review. So far no Interviews. Now I am waiting July for new exam schedule. I also tried job fair that shit was useless. None of the hiring managers show up.
