We should start a service, similar to downforeveryoneorjustme.com, that lets us aggregate info about which companies do not provide any type of response when rejecting a candidate.
It's such a rude thing to do; probably the companies themselves would be glad for it so they could see the poor perception it generates and then work to fix it with an easy solution like polite but automated rejection emails.
The fact that many companies already do this, companies of all sizes and facing all manner of different magnitudes of applicant pool size, really makes the effect stark too. You pretty much have to very actively choose a policy of utterly not replying; an excuse like "we get too many applications to reply to them all" or "we can't afford to build an application response system right now" just don't work given that some companies receiving huge amounts of applications, some early stage companies deep in the throes of building their first product, and even some companies facing both problems simultaneously, already do it.
