For most candidates, feedback on how their interview went arrives days after an interview—if it arrives at all. But one CEO has decided that waiting is a waste of time. Instead, he’s started delivering his critiques to candidates on the spot (sometimes in front of a full panel) as part of the interview test.
“Started to give candidates direct feedback during the interview process,” Gagan Biyani (who goes by @gaganbiyani) revealed in a recent X post. “Often in public during our panel interviews or live at the end of my 1:1 with them.”
The CEO of Maven, an education platform, and cofounder of another e-learning provider, Udemy, said it’s the “most telling part” of the interview—and often a deciding factor in whether they get offered the job or not.
“If this is their nightmare, [the] candidate freezes up or even gets offended,” Biyani added it highlights straight away that they are “not a fit” for the company. “If this is exciting, they are more likely to join.”
