      Thank you for your feedback. We truly value your time and effort throughout the application and interview process, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We understand your frustration regarding the location factor, especially since you had disclosed this upfront. While proximity to our office is a consideration for our Developer position roles, we will review how we communicate this to ensure that candidates’ locations are clear from the start, so we can avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Additionally, we appreciate your insights into the interview process. The technical questions asked are a key part of evaluating the skills we need, but we recognise the importance of making sure all factors are fully considered before moving candidates forward. Thank you again for your time, and we hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future should a more suitable role come up.
