General Info

Getting Started

HonestFeedback helps close the loop after interviews by creating a structured, consent-based way for candidates to request feedback and for employers to respond. The platform introduces a simple process that allows both sides to participate voluntarily while improving transparency and accountability in hiring.

Candidates can submit a feedback request after an interview, and employers can choose whether to respond using the Core7 structured response framework. The goal is to help both sides learn from the interview experience and contribute to healthier hiring practices.

Requesting Interview Feedback

Candidates can request post-interview feedback through the HonestFeedback platform after completing an interview with a participating employer. Each request is sent privately to the employer and gives them the option to respond using a structured format designed to reduce risk while still providing helpful insight.

After a request is submitted, the employer may choose to respond with a Core7 response, decline the request, or take no action. HonestFeedback simply facilitates the request and response process in a structured and respectful way.

Employer Responses (Core7)

Employers can respond to feedback requests using the Core7 framework, a structured format designed to help organizations provide thoughtful feedback while maintaining consistency and professionalism.

Core7 focuses on clear, high-level insights about the interview experience rather than subjective or personal commentary. Employers may choose to respond to a request, decline it, or take no action, depending on their internal policies and comfort level.

Organizations that consistently participate in the process may qualify for HF Certified™ recognition, which signals a commitment to professional and respectful hiring practices.

Privacy & Consent

HonestFeedback is built around a consent-based model. Candidates choose whether to submit a request, and employers choose whether to respond. The platform does not require participation from either party.

All requests and responses are handled privately within the platform. HonestFeedback is designed to support constructive communication while protecting both candidates and employers from unnecessary exposure or misuse.

Accounts & Settings

Users can manage their HonestFeedback profile, notification preferences, and activity within their account dashboard. Candidates can track their feedback requests, while employers can manage incoming requests and response activity.

Account settings allow users to update profile information, manage communication preferences, and control how they interact with the platform.

Platform Policies

HonestFeedback promotes professional and respectful hiring practices. The platform is designed to support constructive feedback while discouraging harmful or inappropriate communication.

All users are expected to follow platform guidelines that encourage professionalism, fairness, and respect throughout the feedback process.

Frequently Asked Questions

General / For Candidates:

  • HonestFeedback is a voluntary, private platform designed to improve post-interview follow-up. It gives candidates a way to request feedback and helps employers respond, decline, or close the loop—without public exposure or forced participation.

  • No. HonestFeedback is not a review platform and does not publish individual opinions, comments, or complaints. Individual exchanges remain private. Only aggregate participation patterns may be reflected through public metrics.

  • No. Participation is voluntary by design. Employers may respond, decline, or choose not to engage. HonestFeedback exists to make follow-through possible—not mandatory.

  • No. HonestFeedback does not guarantee feedback. Employers choose how—and whether—to respond.

  • Because what happens next is no longer invisible. Whether a company responds, declines, or takes no action, that behavior is reflected at an aggregate level on the public dashboard. Candidates gain clarity instead of guessing, and employers gain a clearer picture of how their follow-through shows up over time. It’s a meaningful step toward accountability in hiring—without forcing responses or putting anyone on blast.

  • No. Your request and any response remain private. HonestFeedback does not publish individual candidate feedback or identify candidates publicly.

  • No. HonestFeedback is designed to be respectful, structured, and professional. Requests are neutral and non-confrontational, and employers are never penalized for declining or choosing not to engage.

For Employers:

  • No. Employers are never required to respond. You may respond, decline, or take no action.

  • Nothing happens at the individual level. However, at an aggregate level, patterns of response, decline, and non-response are reflected through the Follow-Through Index™, alongside overall participation trends.

  • HonestFeedback is designed with structure, privacy, and defensibility in mind. Feedback options can be structured and supported by AI-assisted guidance, helping employers communicate thoughtfully and consistently.

  • HF Certified™ is recognition earned by organizations that demonstrate consistent follow-through over time. It is not a one-time badge and cannot be self-claimed—it reflects sustained behavior. (It’s similar to Great Place to Work but specifically for hiring/interview follow-through.)

  • HonestFeedback helps employers improve candidate experience, identify patterns, strengthen employer brand, and reinforce trust—without adding operational burden or public exposure.

Transparency & Metrics:

  • The Follow-Through Index™ is an aggregate metric that reflects employer behavior over time—responses, declines, and non-responses—without exposing individual exchanges.

  • Only high-level participation metrics are public. Individual responses, candidate identities, and private exchanges are never shared.

For Investors & Partners:

  • HonestFeedback does not compete with ATS or sourcing tools. It fills a gap they were never designed to address: post-interview follow-through and accountability.

  • It turns a widespread but unmeasured behavior—silence after interviews—into visible, improvable patterns that benefit candidates, employers, and the broader hiring ecosystem.

  • HonestFeedback combines behavioral data, voluntary participation, privacy-first design, and emerging standards like HF Certified™ into a system that becomes more valuable as adoption grows.

  • To establish follow-through as a measurable, trusted standard in hiring—where clarity, accountability, and respect are built into the process, not left to chance.
