Companies often send generic rejection emails to job candidates without offering detailed feedback, which frustrates engineers who are job hunting.
Legal risk is often cited as a reason for not providing feedback, but in reality, offering honest technical feedback can actually reduce legal risks by showcasing transparent evaluation based on skills.
Candidates may not always appreciate feedback, especially if it is not well-constructed. However, by making changes in how feedback is worded and emphasizing key areas, companies can turn feedback into a positive learning experience for candidates.
