Letting Candidates Know They're Not Moving Forward
- austin-cheney 2y agoI really love feedback like: Candidate failed to demonstrate necessary experience when asked about (something specific here). That lets me know that either I was weak in this primary area of interest for that employer or that I simply failed to sell my potential/performance. Precise no bullshit feedback is amazing. Most of time I, as a former JS developer, get the impression the employer has absolutely no idea what they want in an engineer and are instead just trying to find some average guy to populate their team of unimpressive averages. I have since developed my own criteria to evaluate for this. Does the future employer measure things, heavily invest in rapid test automation, optimize for automation speed contrary to what’s popular. If I get the impression the employer just dicks around with tools and only looks at popularity as their measuring stick I have a general idea of what’s coming. If they don’t take their own output seriously I know I am probably not going to get the job, and even if I did I wouldn’t like it. This was so common in JS land that I moved onto the first something else that found me.
