Its interesting that there is an article on the front page [0] right now singing the praises of Ghost (ironically named in this case) which does exactly the opposite.

From their careers page [1]:

> Unfortunately due to the volume of submissions that come in whenever we open a position we aren't able to respond to every single application, but if yours is successful - you'll hear back from us within around a week.

But they are up front in notifying those applying for positions that this is the case. This is acceptable as far as I am concerned. You know before hand what the responses will be. When they do not give any such indications then they are unprofessional.
