It certainly doesn't help that many companies never inform you if you don't get a position, so if a candidate doesn't get a response quickly, they are likely to assume they were rejected.

- snoman 3y agoI used to work at a medium sized firm (~2B revenue) and we had a policy where the candidate had an offer or a rejection (with reason) before they left the office. It was hard turning folks down, and it pushed us to have very crisp reasons for saying no, but I think it made us better interviewers and more humane in the process.
- sph 3y agoThe word humane is rarely used, most times in the context of "humane slaughter of farm animals" and now in "humane interview process."
- potamic 3y agoThis could also backfire with non-confrontational personalities. "Welp, I guess you're hired"
- snoman 3y agoIt was never decided by a single person. We always did a 5-15m debrief, consisting of about 4 people (hiring manager, 2 interviewers, hr to facilitate and maybe a shadow 2), between interviews on the day.
