It actually is impossible.However, with modest organisation and investment in a digital process, firms could meaningfully acknowledge the effort that tens of thousands of candidates invest in their application forms and multiple assessments. They should consider that these efforts represent not just career aspirations, but life decisions.Given that technology is fully embedded in our lives, and firms do have the resources to invest in sophisticated platforms, there is no compelling reason why a modest feedback report couldn't accompany each rejection email. Such a report could offer transparency through aggregated statistics, selection criteria, and threshold benchmarks, without requiring individualised commentary.To illustrate: in my previous career, I worked in project management and got involved in sophisticated digital initiatives. In finance, for example, I engaged in receivables securitisation for a major telecoms company with millions of customers across the EU. We tracked payments and consumer behaviour in granular detail, applied analytics combined with economic scenarios, classified tranches, and delivered comprehensive reports justifying risks, rates, and variations by jurisdiction, demographic, and other factors. If that level of data transparency is standard in capital markets, surely recruitment processes could adopt something similar.From my perspective, the current approach feels dismissive of the genuine commitment candidates bring to these applications. But that's perhaps a broader conversation for another time, either in a coffee shop or a pub <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
