Hi,

your options have been well discussed already here:

In short I would reach out the interviewers directly.

Hi there,

Honestly, I would drop it. Even if they do respond, it's extremely likely the feedback isn't "real" and/or isn't actionable.

If you truly want professional feedback, hire a coach. Not only will they not hold any punches but they'll give you concrete, trailored, actionable advice.

Hey there,

I used to be a SC at SKP so I can speak for my experience.

Usually (depending on the office), who communicates rejections is the office manager and she does it using a template email.

The only times you will be getting a call from anyone is to communicate an offer to you by the partner. Sometimes partners will also call after a final round informing you about the decision.

Now regarding receiving feedback on your performance - I was an interviewer in the past and I had candidates reaching out to me asking for feedback. Most times our policy is to (1) dont reply or (2) give generic answers. So I wouldnt spend my time pursuing these answers. If you want to know your current level just have a call with an expert and he/she will be able to assess your performance.

Hope you it helps!

Agree with Ian, drop it. Its not worth it and such a situaton is not uncommon at all.v Most companies are just appaling in that area of provviding honest post interview feedback. As hard as it is, rejection is part of the process. So accept it gracefully & move on. There is plenty out there to grab, so dont let this shake you.

All the best.

Hi,

I do not recommend doing so. You can follow up with HR, but reaching out to the manager is too much.

Try to get several sessions with great case partners / current consultants / coaches to get the feedback. Most of the issues are not unique and easily spoted

Best.

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out.

I'd definitely send a friendly email to the manager asking for the key reason(s) why you didn't pass (so you can improve in the future). Going via HR in your instance is a waste of time

• They may not know / can't say
• You have nothing to lose at this point
• It could be beneficial to stay in touch with the person for future reference

Cheers,

Absolutely. The worst thing that can happen is that they will give you a generic answer that doesn't help. Unless you're being rude in the way you're asking for it, this will not affect your chances for a re-application.

Hello!

Sorry to hear about that :/

I think this is very personal and depends a lot on your style.

If you do write them, do it to have them in the network for the future, but not asking for feedback -that window already closed-.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience!

I'm afraid it's possible that you'll only receive a generic answer again. I'd rather just move on.

Also, you said you didn't have a great feeling about the interview either - maybe you already know what didn't go that well by yourself.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
