I've done interviewing as an engineer. It's pretty much totally easy to give a quick reply to someone who has reached a final state in the interview process.

Here's an example:

"Sorry, we decided to not move forward with your application. Best of luck in your future endeavors".

Very canned, very corporate. But it's real easy to copy and paste, then email. Brings closure to the candidate and frees them up to move on. Also, it's just plain kindness.



I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. My thought was, is there something different you call yourself, or some different niche that helps you avoid that kind of treatment? I should have been clearer in my question.


Sorry. No, I meant that I was interviewing people from the perspective of an engineer, not as a manager or as a recruiter.


So what do you interview as now?
