  • I’ve been doing interviews for lots of years and in several companies. I give feedback to the hiring manager who is supposed to sugarcoat it a bit and forward it, but most of times there’s not much to say beyond “that’s not the right guy”.

    I rejected good candidates just because I knew that the final interview would reject them anyway for some secondary aspect that happens to be valued a lot by a manager. I also rejected good candidates because I was convinced they would not like the job and leave in a year.

    It’s not always a matter of skills and it’s not always something you can put in a formal reply.
