San Francisco, United States - May 21, 2021 /PressCable/ —

GoodTime.io has released a potentially controversial article “How To Handle Candidate Rejection and Maintain Candidate Experience,” bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset hiring managers who oversee the emotional aspects of the candidate experience for job seekers.

The article examines the various aspects of role rejection strategy during the hiring process, in the pursuit of providing advice on how to reject a job seeker and still keep them engaged for talent acquisition executives. In typical manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst TA leaders.

Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:

“Conversely, a negative candidate experience resulting from poor rejection experience can be expensive. The Human Capital Institute found that 72% of job seekers report sharing their negative candidate experiences online. Similarly, 55% of job seekers avoid companies that they have read bad reviews about.”

A spokesperson for GoodTime.io, Cynthia Popper, Director of Content Strategy, says “Of course GoodTime never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of our articles is first and foremost to to give advice on how to create the best possible hiring experience at scale. It is critical, however, that we stay dedicated to our true voice.

Although our ‘How To Handle Candidate Rejection and Maintain Candidate Experience’ might unsettle hiring managers who have to manage the emotional side of the candidate experience, our duty is to our audience. We believe it’s more important to offer some real talk on emotional intelligence during the hiring process than to please everyone… which is notoriously difficult to do.”

Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists as the article suggests that hiring managers have been less than sensitive or responsive to rejected job seekers.

GoodTime has been a provider of in-depth articles in the talent acquisition space since 2016. Future aims for the website are to conitnue to be a voice of authority on the things that matter to talent acquisition leaders.
