Your last impression is as important as your first
Reason 3784 why recruiter feedback is garbage: lack of preparation.
This isn’t a dunk. It’s a teaching moment. Recruiters (like all humans) get buried in their work. Task to task. Sprinting through the day. Autopilot is real.
👉The last impression is as important as the first.
Telling people they’re not getting a job coupled with inaccurate feedback rubs people the wrong way. Duh.
Like not understanding the hiring manager’s reasoning but communicating it anyway. Or *gasp* confusing candidates with each other when you’re working at capacity.
Yes. These things happen. They blow up reputation and relationships.
Before every rejection call:
👉Have the applicant’s full resume and LinkedIn profile in front of you. Make sure you know exactly who you’re talking to.
👉Review the interview rejection notes. Make sure you understand it well enough to explain it in your own words.
👉If you don’t understand it, ask the hiring manager to explain it to you.
If a candidate gets deep in the process, they’ve put a lot of work in researching you. Make sure you do the same.

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show.
If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview processes.
Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners.
Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why ignoring candidate experience is costing companies big in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 111, “Candidate Experience Has Never Been Worse”
