Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We genuinely appreciate your interest in joining our team at Ripple Effect, and we apologize for the lengthy wait you experienced. At the time of your application in 2017, while your skills were not an immediate fit for the available position, we were impressed with your skills and experience. As a result, your application was added to our ‘Future Rippler’ pool, which allows us to retain applications and reach out to all ‘Future Rippler’ candidates to apply when new open positions arise that may align well with their skillset. This practice can occasionally cause communication delays, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Thank you once again for considering a role with us, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
