Key Benefits of Automating and Structuring Post-Interview Feedback

Post-interview feedback is the biggest bottleneck in the hiring process, frustrating hiring managers, consultants, and candidates alike.

Chasing feedback wastes time, the responses are often vague, and valuable insights are more often than not, lost. A streamlined, structured approach eliminates these issues, delivering significant benefits across the board:

Here at Recruiter Insider we have released a feature that solves all of these problems and delivers feedback faster to the consultant and candidate whilst making the process easier for hiring managers.

✅ Saves time – Instead of a drawn-out 5-10 minute call, feedback can be provided in approx. two minutes.
✅ Provides flexibility – Feedback can be given at a time that suits them, rather than waiting for a consultant’s call.
✅ Improves employer branding – A faster, smoother process makes the company look professional, improving its reputation in the market.
✅ Speeds up hiring – Faster feedback means decisions are made quicker, ensuring the best candidates aren’t lost to competitors.

For Recruitment Consultants

✅ Eliminates constant chasing – No more wasting time trying to get a hiring manager on the phone for a rushed response.
✅ Enables deeper conversations – When consultants do speak to hiring managers, they can focus on valuable insights, not just asking for feedback.
✅ Creates structured feedback data – Feedback is stored and tracked over time, no longer lost in the consultant’s memory.
✅ Improves efficiency – Saves time by automating a process that traditionally requires multiple follow-ups.
✅ Builds hiring intelligence – Over time, structured data allows for better interview preparation resources aligned to hiring managers, job titles, and employers.

✅ Integrates directly into your ATS – Feedback is automatically recorded and stored against candidates for future reference.

For Candidates

✅ Receives feedback faster – The biggest frustration for candidates is waiting in limbo; this approach eliminates unnecessary delays.
✅ Gains better insights – Instead of just a "no," candidates get clearer, more structured feedback to help them improve.
✅ Improves the overall candidate experience – Faster, transparent feedback strengthens the relationship between candidates, employers, and consultants.
