I'd love to hear about what people are doing to stand out in providing feedback for candidates who made it to the final interview stage but did not make the offer.

Hey there, I always have a video call with a candidate who gets rejected after any interview round. I found that being straight forward right away and saying they sadly didn’t get the job but that we were keen to offer constructive feedback really helped. 90% of the time they’ll be really open to understanding a bit more and I always catch up with the interviewers to pin point what didn’t work out and frame it in an easily acceptable way.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.

Thanks.
