Interview Feedback: The Pros and Cons of Interview Closure | Lori Golden
11/27/23 • 45 min
Why is interview feedback so elusive? We're discussing this topic with Lori Golden, a recruiting leader with more than two decades of experience building and scaling teams. This episode dissects the difficulties recruiters face when managing high volumes of applicants and the impact this has on providing effective feedback post-interview. Lori challenges the usefulness of the dreaded auto-generated rejection emails and discusses the need for closure in the job search process.
So how does this help you as a job seeker? By learning how hiring teams operate and make decisions, you can better understand why rejections come, with or without feedback.
Some additional topics we'll discuss in this episode:
- Feedback in the interview process: Do they actually add value?
- What does closure really mean as a job seeker?
- Marketing yourself as a valuable asset to companies
- The risk of hiring decisions & why "take a chance on me" is a high-risk decision
- Reading between the lines of job descriptions
Follow along as we go behind the scenes to talk about all the ins and outs of the hiring process. We’ll peel back the curtain to demystify the rumors around ATS, the application process, how resumes are evaluated, and all things job search.
