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.

Six years off. One massive comeback. Zero regrets.
In this episode of The Balancing Act, Sarah Sheridan sits down with Susan Scutt, private equity operator, single mom, and comeback queen.
She walked away from work to raise her daughters. Then walked back in and built a bigger, bolder career.
We get into:
- The role she turned down (and why it wasn’t worth it)
- What her kids taught her about leadership
- Why tough love works—at home and in the boardroom
It’s a no-fluff conversation about ambition, resilience, and letting go of guilt. Especially for women who’ve hit pause—and are ready to hit play again.
