When was the last time you were given a feedback during an interview or after it? During last few months my friends have given a lot of interviews, to start their career after MBA.
One thing I have had been listening from them is they do not get feedback from recruiters as to why they weren’t selected after a particular round of interview. Moreover, there are companies from where they didn’t get any reply at all which made them more curious, that why do companies don’t inform them even if they are rejected.
So hello companies wake up and see this might be an area where you are falling back which might be a reason for developing a wrong image without even being aware of it. Feedback is really crucial for everyone be it a candidate or an employee working in a company. As a recruiter, it’s important to provide valuable feedback to the candidates you are interviewing particularly.
Providing interview feedback to candidate offers a number of benefits to company’s hiring process.
-
It enriches your relationship with close matched (but not ideal for that role) candidates who can be transferred into your talent pool and considered for future vacancies
-
It is also a form of professional respect to the candidate who’s taken time and effort to attend the interview.
-
It also strengthens your reputation as an employer and is directly linked to the quality of applicants attracted to your future vacancies.
