A PSYCHOLOGISTS TAKE ON CANDIDATE FEEDBACK. 

Bad feedback - or no feedback - is perhaps the most common criticism by job candidates looking for work. Why is feedback important, and why do recruiters do this so badly? We're going to take the psychologists perspective one of the most persistent problems in our industry and see whether we can learn from a field of study outside of our own!

- What are the current theories about why feedback is needed?

- What are the stories we tell ourselves about why we need feedback?

- Why is feedback particularly challenging in recruitment?

- Are there unusual psychological conditions in the context of job search which make feedback both difficult give and difficult to give well?

- Why do candidates vary in their demands for feedback?

- Under what conditions are candidates most upset about the job search experience?

- Will increased training help, or does this require simply more capacity on behalf of the recruiters?

- Are incentives correctly aligned for good feedback to be provided?

- What technology innovations can change the dynamic behind persistence bad feedback experience?
