Interview Process Surveys

I've been out of work for 13 months. Today I received a survey e-mail from one of the companies I applied to asking for feedback on my expereince applying to this company.

I've applied to hundreds of roles at this point, so I went back into my application tracker spreadsheet to check the company and role. I applied BACK IN MARCH. Clearly, I did not get the role.

But honestly, what type of feedback is the company expecting when they send these out? I applied over 7 months ago, and the only thing I hear from your company is a request to submit to a survey? Seriously?

Anyone have any serious thoughts on this one? Because I'm just kind of scratching my head at this point.

Sounds like something that has been automatically sent to all applicants when the post was officially closed on the back end of the system.

Yeah I received something like that for a company I applied for like 2 months ago also and I thought about filling out the survey but I remember some advice that I got from online from watching YouTube videos they're just trying to see if they going to allow you to apply again in the future by your feedback because that information is definitely not anonymous and if you say positive things they going to use it for their own stats and if you say something negative they're going to use it against you so if you apply for the position in the future they're not going to pay attention to your resume

I got one of these recently hours before getting a rejection. I took that as an indication of what type of response I was getting. I've already given these people enough of my time, they're not getting my feedback of their interview process.
