> Interview feedback - Give interview feedback to your interviewer and get feedback back. I'd be very surprised (and impressed) if any interviewer gives honest feedback on the interview, in writing (via the app), esp. in cases where candidate was rejected / didn't receive an offer. Cos that would have a discrimination lawsuit written all over it. HR and/or Recruiters also never gives candid feedback for the same reas…

We use https://interviewing.io/ a lot, and there is ample opportunity to provide both structured and unstructured feedback from the candidate to the interviewer, and from the interviewer to the candidate. This seems like a better model than recruiters filtering the information.

Has anyone else had a hell of a time finding a job in SF lately? It seems like there is so much competition now I literally can't even get an in-person interview. It's a total shift from 5 years ago when people were begging you to come in after a quick phone screen. Now it's nothing but automated responses with Triplebyte quizzes and getting ghosted.

Automated responses with quizzes are really an odd trend, really midsized startups should provide a response from a human most of the time, not ghosting or quizzes.

This is a very personal exchange between an employee and employer that could have significant impact on employment negotiations. For example, I might not want employer A, knowing that I'm als…

Thank you for the comment! To be honest with you, I didn't expect to get this much traction but that's something I have been thinking about a lot lately for the future of the product. I'm still not sure the exact path of monetizing the product yet but I know I want After Interview to help people to get the job they want rather than selling data to companies. Currently, companies can claim their company pages but exch…

I think that's better indeed. If the model is to sell data to companies, it may feel to the user that you're telling companies which companies they're interviewing with, etc.
