There has always been deluge of advice asking employers to treat their candidates like customers. In order to make a great candidate want to work at your company, you need to cater to their needs, make sure they feel special and offer them things like benefits, perks, and higher pay that your competitors don’t. It’s sound advice, for the most part, but as it turns out, following the “ treat candidates like customers ” point of view doesn’t always work.

Job interviews are commonplace today, but there once was a time when the interview process didn’t even exist. Instead of having to prove their worth in a job interview, people were essentially born into their jobs, and nearly everyone lived and worked in their hometowns. It took forward-thinking technology like the railroad, telephone, and Internet to revolutionize the process of finding and landing a job.

Looking for a job can be a pretty lousy experience. Job seekers spend hours researching and applying for positions, fixing their CV and attending interviews, only to be told no. You don’t even hear back from many companies (let alone get some actionable feedback that will help you improve your chances next time around). Job applications rarely leave anyone with a ‘warm fuzzy feeling’, and often turn people against companies.

Employee feedback shapes an organization and is what candidates are in search of when considering one company over another. The more representative the information is of the candidate’s potential role, the more valuable the information becomes. Full-time employees and contractors, for example, typically have very different experiences and the feedback left by a full-time employee may not be representative of what a contractor could expect at the same company.
