Do recruiters have to provide feedback?

Why Feedback Matters Feedback between hiring managers and recruiters is crucial because it shows that the hiring manager is actually engaged in the hiring process. If they’re not providing feedback, then it brings recruiters to question whether they’re even reviewing the resumes.

How do you respond when a rejected candidate asks for feedback?

Be honest with your response. And remember, only give feedback to rejected candidates who request it. Thank them for their interest in your organization and encourage them to stay in touch if you feel as though they could potentially improve and land a position within your organization.

Why don’t companies give candidates feedback after rejection?

Companies do not believe it helps them to give candidates feedback. Frankly, all they see is downside. There’s the legal risk. Once a company explains the reason for rejection, it gives the candidate the opportunity to poke holes in that reason and then allege that the real reason was discriminatory.

Do recruitment consultants give good feedback?

One of the biggest complaints my job seeking clients make about recruitment consultants is that they actually never hear back from consultants sometimes even after they have been for an interview. So they actually receive no feedback, good, bad or otherwise.

Do recruiters give feedback on behavioural interviews?

If you’ve faced a behavioural interview, around your competencies, then the recruiter could give you some targeted and useful feedback based on which competencies you did not demonstrate in your answers. Trouble is, not everyone in the recruitment process sticks to the interview script.

Why would a client say no to a candidate?

Clients can sometimes give the vaguest of reasons about why they don’t want a candidate, “just didn’t think you’d fit the team”, “just not sure”, “if in doubt say no”. Or the client may give the recruiter reasons that they simply cannot repeat about your age, gender, nationality etc.
