Um, you’re NOT on mute: the good, bad, and ugly of the interview process

There are good interviews, and there are bad interviews. When done right, a structured, transparent interview process creates better results for everyone.  

In our latest report, Interview Feedback In 2025, we found that hiring managers often make offers to people they like–not who is best for the job–leading to subjective impressions, not real performance measures. We also found that…

• Interviewers write 39% more feedback when the candidate is not getting an offer  
• 84% of candidates who are rejected never got any feedback on their interviews
• Candidates who receive offers are far more likely to be described using personality feedback, like “friendly” and “great energy.”  

When hiring is one of the most crucial components to an organization, interviews (and the feedback you provide!) are critical to the organization’s success.
