ETH Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich

Recruitment process miserable. Why throw applications not answered?

No reply to application. You should at least take the time to send a rejection

You can only judge when you've worked there. The job offers sound challenging.

who knows how the employment relationship would have turned out. Automatic confirmation of receipt of application. That's all there was to it. Nothing else came. To show more contempt is not possible.

I applied recently, but unfortunately I also received an automatically generated answer! I would never have expected such an institute like the ETH to come back! I am really disappointed by the ETH, believe me you are only rewarding your time. I am sure I would have fit 90% to this job description, I expect at least a personal constructive feedback, so that one can improve also in the future. Especially with the automatic answer: We refer to your application as a technical specialist (80-100%) and thank you for your interest in ETH Zurich. In the meantime, we have succeeded in filling the position successfully. Our choice fell on a candidacy that even better met our expectations. We ask for your understanding that we cannot communicate any individual reasons for rejection. And now the ad is still online. Apparently lying is allowed, but only the employer can afford it.

ETH should also take some time for the cancellations, as well as the applicants should also take time for the application.
