I did well in an online coding challenge. All my tests passed, and my implementations were linear in time and space complexity.

However, the next day, I was rejected with the explanation: "We cannot find any openings that match your background and experience."

I emailed the recruiter but haven't received a reply.

Based on my resume alone, you could have determined if my experience matched. Why wasn't this assessed upfront? Why was I asked to spend two hours on a coding challenge?

Palantir, do you believe having piles of resumes allows you to continue this poor recruiting process? Think again.

I will not apply again. You already know what I will tell my friends.
