I need to interview people every now and then after they make it through HR. I hate HR, all they do is try to put people in boxes and reject prime candidates based on pseudoscience - "this person who is a prime candidate for our engineering position did poorly on our HRs BS accounting-based math aptitude test so we rejected her. Instead we recommend this clueless no-experience PHD graduate".
I know some people ask HR for feedback but the reality is that they don't know why I rejected you, because they never ^&%$ listen to what I tell them to look out for in candidates.
Hi everyone! Sam here, @dfox's gf :) so happy to be talking to you all! Today I will be live-ranting TNW Confe...

Interviewer: Do you have any questions?
Me: When can I expect to hear back?
Interviewer: The HR will inform you
The HR never contacted me
4 years back I interviewed with a big bank
Neither the interviewer nor HR got back to me
Initially I had hope so I mailed them
Even then I didn’t get any revert
It is understandable that
I might not be deserving of that job
But I felt I deserved a feedback why?
The experience was really disappointing
Recently, a colleague & I were interviewing
“You don’t match our current requirement”
“We will send a written feedback
in a couple of days”, I told the candidate
Later my colleague: “Isn’t it unprofessional
to directly reject the candidate?”
Me: “I feel that an honest no is much better
than false hope from a delayed feedback”
“The candidate can move on
& focus on other interviews better”
Thoughts? Did I do the right thing?
Have you ever got a delayed feedback
or no feedback at all after an interview?
