The failure of a potential employer to provide feedback following a job interview is a common source of frustration for job seekers. This lack of communication can stem from various factors within the hiring organization and the interview process itself. It represents a breakdown in professional etiquette and candidate experience.
Addressing this communication gap is crucial for maintaining a positive employer brand and attracting top talent. Timely and informative updates reflect an organization’s respect for candidates’ time and effort. Historically, inconsistent communication has been tolerated; however, increasing competition for skilled workers is shifting expectations towards more transparent and responsive hiring practices.
