rather than finding much further down the track that it's a more difficult conversation to have when you've not nailed it.
So I will encourage our panel members, if you are not certain, take some time to think about it.
If you are not certain, invite your preferred candidate along for a coffee to ask some more questions.
Or if you're really not certain, it's okay to wait and it's okay to say, not yet, let's go again.
And the strength in being able to come back for the next campaign and say, I heard that feedback and I worked, and this is where I am now, I think is really, really great for a candidate to be able to do.
I'll counter your point now with giving feedback to say that also for candidates recognising
the effort and the time that your panel are putting in.
And it's not possible for them to give feedback to everyone.
I think it's absolutely appropriate that if you interview for a role, then you are due some feedback.
We want to pay reverence to your time.
If you don't get shortlisted for an interview, there's often a vast number of applicants and it's impossible for the panel to give feedback to every single person who applied.
So think about how far you've gone in the process and what level of feedback you should expect.
Yeah, and I think to your point around not burning any bridges, because panels and organisations remember the people that they interviewed that they had a really positive experience with.
Whilst you may have been unsuccessful for that opportunity, when the next opportunity comes up, they'll go, I remember Rob.
he might be a great fit for this role.
He wasn't a great fit for that one, but let's talk.
Can we ring him?
Let's talk to him.
And asking those child safety questions shouldn't feel awkward.
It's a normal part of the conversation that we have when we work in a child-connected environment.
