If you don't why you didn't get an offer, then you aren't worth the time to explain it. 95% of the time, you didn't give as strong answers as other candidates.

95% of the time, you didn't give as strong answers as other candidates. The other 5% of the time, you came across as a jerk.
- throwaway2048 7y agoYou can find plenty of competent people to fill a position that you have no room to hire. Its also possible to give an accidentally weak interview. Treating people like disposable garbage because they didn't check the checkboxes the best is a great way to be a shitty manager and a shitty human being.
- majormajor 7y agoStrongly disagree. Do you only ask candidates 1 question/only look for 1 attribute? And only hire for one level? Cause otherwise, they could've done great on 8 things but missed on another. Or they did well but not quite well enough for the seniority that was desired. I've gotten feedback like this in the past - "your technical answers were great, but we thought you were a bit too green collaboration- and project-ownership-wise" and it was super useful because in my head before that, it was the places where my technical question answers could've been even better that I'd been beating myself up over.
- noitsnot 7y agoThis is egregious and unempathetic.
