Is it now normal practice not to receive a response after interview?

Karen

Is it normal practice now to not receive a response from a face to face interview if you are unsuccessful?  I recently qualified in Level 3 and trying to get into HR.  I feel that this is rude and unprofessional that I have attended two interviews without having any response especially as these are for HR positions.

  • Hi Karen

    Whilst I agree that anyone who has taken the time to interview should be given a clear outcome, with feedback where possible, I know of 2 reasons that this doesn't happen;

    - Andre's reason re; spurious claims of discrimination to deal with when the response is not to the candidates liking
    - The company does provide feedback, but any recruitment agent involved does not pass it on

    If you are job hunting, be prepared for a very broken process/system in the UK. Assume you will not get proper communication at any point and then it is a bonus when you do (and highlights the right companies to pursue).

    Best of luck to you though!

    Kind regards
