Writing a candidate review

Anyone can write a candidate experience review. You'll need to sign in first, either with LinkedIn or Google, to verify you're a real professional and to prevent duplicate submissions. Your identity is never connected to your published review. Once submitted, your name and any identifying information are permanently separated from your response.

The review takes about five minutes and covers eight short sections: your job search status, the role and company, the interview process, the recruiter, the hiring manager, any take-home exercise, the outcome, and your overall assessment. Some sections can be skipped if they don't apply to your experience, like the hiring manager or take-home sections.

You'll be asked whether you were ghosted at any point, meaning the employer went silent with no rejection and no explanation after you'd already spoken with someone on their team. You can also share, in your own words, what the company did well and what the next candidate should know, both published anonymously.

If you need to stop partway through, your progress is saved as a draft so you can pick it up later.
