I tell disqualified candidates to their faces that I won't hire them for X reasons during interviews.
My bosses say I shouldn't do this.
Is there anything wrong with giving upfront rejections and advice on how to do better?
The polite thing to do is to show them around the office, say you'll be in touch, then avoid all emails and phone calls.

What? I hate when companies do that... I'd much rather be told why I am being rejected.
At least that way you can learn from your mistakes / shortcomings.
>>1077533
Why would I get their hopes up like that?
>>1077530
You are doing gods work, anon
nothing is worse than going all out of a job only to be left wondering what the fuck is going on/why did I fuck up
>>1077538
It's standard practice.
>>1077533
Thanks for the laugh, anon.
>>1077555
slavery was standard practice, that doesn't mean it's the ethical thing to do.
>>1077530
If you're giving actual real reasons then you're not doing anything bad
>>1077530
>Is there anything wrong
yes, lawsuits.

As long as they are legitimate reasons such as: no relevant experience/education, candidate is too experienced for the job, or it would not be a good fit with the manager/team/company then sure, but you need the head of HR to give you the OK, just in case.

I don't see what's wrong with it as long as you don't say it's because of race or shit that would get you sued. You're doing them a favor.

Wrong place to apply those things.

Code for race discrimination, among others
Just shut your mouth OP, or you'll be the one looking a job.

This. People are better off not knowing than being given information they might disagree with or interpret incorrectly.
but normally we don't care about the rejects anyway, and picking a candidate is completely a "I like this guy better" deal. If it was quantifiable and easy to define, we wouldn't ever need you in for an interview. When someone is just less qualified it's not like he can fix that either.

No. Keep it up.
You should only tell them if they ask you, masochist.
>>1077533
Kill yourself. This happened to me and I've gotten nowhere but dug a deeper hole.
