Do you chase feedback?

[norrahe]

No, I don't chase feedback for a few reasons
1. It is almost always a waste of time
2. If the client is even slightly interested, the agent will chase me
3. If the agent gives me feedback without any prompting, it is more likely to be true (and they get on my 'OK to deal with' list)

You see this quite a lot on here, you need to understand the game a bit better. I have been the hiring manager in the past, the reality is I just preferred a particular candidate and would not bother to give a detailed response/justification to an agent. Besides that, all the agent will hear is a name and a yes or no, if it's a no, they forget the name.
It only takes a couple of contractors to get upset and argue about the decision (which is never likely to change) before the agent starts to trot out the 'not heard', 'internal candidate/contractor on-site got it', 'budget cancelled', really liked you - other person just had a bit more experience in XYZ, blah blah blah, to everyone who chases them.
You ARE all getting feedback - A call says you got the job, you win, well done. Tumbleweeds says not this time.... Everything else you are wasting your time.
IF you really want feedback, when you get a job, ask the person who hired you (not first day, get settled in first) for a few pointers. Obviously this is not perfect because they liked you but they will probably have a few ideas. OR find someone who has done some hiring (or another experienced contractor to run some practice sessions).
Many moons ago, I got a knockback from an interview, feedback was I was a bit too 'full-on' I used to get nervous and a bit loud. I demanded they get me in for another go and I was amazed they agreed - I tuned it down a bit and stayed 6 years...
Good luck to all looking.

I wasn't really meaning detailed feedback but rather that the agent is on the phone every 5 mins before the interview and even trying to tell you how to behave and what questions you ask. Then you have the interview and sure enough, 5 mins later, he's on the phone again wanting to know how it went..........

Then you never hear from him again......

I just believe a quick 'sorry not this time' call or email wouldn't go a miss

So far, I've found Provanis will always let me know one way or another which way the interview went. I'm not after feedback, but it might be nice to have some post-interview / post-application contact.
