Times have changed. How many times have we heard
that? We have all heard this in reference to all sorts of scenarios and at
different times throughout our lives. For example, when I was a kid my parents
would tell me, “times have changed.” I don’t even recall why at the time that
was said, but I say the same thing to my kids now. Mostly due to social media
concerns. Also in regards to how dangerous it is for kids to even ride their
bikes a block from home. The list goes on. Because frankly, times have most
definitely changed.
When speaking with candidates I also often find myself
saying to them “times have changed.” Times have changed because the
process has changed from what it once was a few years ago. There was a time
when we worked directly with the decision maker. Not so much any longer. Most
of the contact goes through a talent acquisition department. There was a time
when a resume was sent directly to the decision maker or even a Human Resources
recruiter. We still present directly to these individuals today, but to a lesser
extent than we once did. Instead today there are a also a host of portals that
many referrals are required to be submitted through.
When it comes to feedback after an interview, or after the selection process is completed, again - times have changed. We very infrequently get any type of feedback these days. Ever wonder why? Most candidates want feedback. As part of my job I like to be able to provide them feedback. It could be helpful to them in preparing for anther interview. Perhaps they could do something different. But just as with anything if we can’t get feedback, how are we supposed to improve? Think about students progressing through school with no feedback on how they were doing. How ineffective would that be?

So why have times changes in regards to gaining feedback
after an interview or selection process? Here is an excellent article
from WSJ.com that speaks to this very topic.

I have been surfing online greater than three hours these days, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web shall be a lot more useful than ever before.
