Common mistakes
What to avoid with this form
Client feedback becomes hard to use when it arrives late, lacks evidence, or mixes internal preference with candidate-facing comments.
Accepting vague decline reasons
A client saying “not right” is not enough for recruiter learning or candidate communication.
No feedback deadline
Candidates lose interest when clients take too long to respond after interviews.
Sharing private comments directly
Recruiters should separate client-sensitive notes from feedback approved for the candidate.
