Just got this email from a tech company I applied to online a while ago:
"Thank you for your interest in working with X. We recently received your resume from one of our employees in regards to our Software Engineer position. Unfortunately, this role has been filled and we don't have any additional openings at the moment. Should a position become available that is open and a good match we will be sure to reach out to you.
Again, thank you for considering X - we highly value our referrals and appreciate the time you took to reach out."
I'm surprised I got an email considering these companies usually ghost when they reject you. A bit confused about them mentioning referrals and that they received my resume from one of their employees. Did I get slightly further in the application process or is this just a standard response everyone gets?
