Don't give them any updates for weeks, if at all. Who will appreciate hearing back from your company more: Joe Shmoe, or Joe Solitary Confinement?
If I apply for a job, and they have no interest in me, I honestly prefer they don't bother contacting me at all. Generic rejection letters are a waste of both of our time.
Once I've applied for a job, it's out of my mind completely unless they contact me again for an interview. I move on to applying for the next Job - I don't wait around wondering whether they'll get back to me. It's a much better mindset for me personally - I apply for more jobs and rejection doesn't phase me.
