Episode #49 Feedback is a gift with Claire Pales
“When it comes to giving candidates feedback, remember our words can have a very powerful impact on the action that person takes next.”
— Claire Pales
This season I am again recording some solo episodes, and answering the big questions that I hear often when doing consulting work. I'm excited to share some of the experiences I have had during my career in security.
Receiving feedback can help you grow, but it does depend on how it's delivered. I recently received some feedback, which lead me to think about how best to give feedback in the recruitment process. In this episode I share these tips and what I have learnt.
