Feedback in recruitment

 

Explanation as briefly as possible what feedback is: In short, it is a return message from the hiring manager/recruiter to the candidate.

In theory, each candidate should receive feedback after each stage of the recruitment process. As recruiters, we can provide feedback only when the hiring manager gives us feedback on how the candidate coped at a given stage of recruitment. Otherwise, we can only say that the conversation/task went well or poorly. Which, of course, is also feedback, better than none. However, keep in mind that this is a more complex process.

Positive and negative feedback about the candidate’s rejection of the process is extremely important.

Feedback can give us a lot, mostly positive things. A candidate who receives positive feedback after the interview can improve his or her self-confidence, become aware of his/her strengths, and be convinced of the level of his/her actual knowledge.

If the feedback was negative, you could also get a lot of good out of it. You can pay attention to what you can still work on. You can conclude which areas – technical or soft – require work to better present yourself and your knowledge at the interview in the future. It’s hard to accept criticism, but we (recruiters and hiring managers) don’t want to make you sad – this is our advice, a tip for the future.

The key power is the knowledge of how to give feedback. You must know it has to be honest but yet diplomatic. Recruiters and of course companies want you to succeed from the very beginning of the recruitment process. Everyone keeps their fingers crossed for you and wishes you well. The point is – they want you to remember the process and them (recruiter and company) as the one’s worth coming back to in the future. Giving feedback is a superpower!

Summary

Feedback is crucial in the recruitment process as it provides both candidates and employers with valuable insights that encourage growth and improvement. Not only does it help candidates understand their strengths and areas for development, it also enables employers to refine their selection criteria and create a positive candidate experience.
