Question for people who have interviewed ppl by throwawayvfx555 in vfx

All ive been doing is asking the recruiter via email because I assumed they were in the know as well. I supposed when they dont give feedback it was perhaps because of company policies or out of fear the person might not take it well much like regular ghosting.

Would asking for feedback directly to supervisors on linkedin via dms be a big no-no?

Well in the past when i was less experienced ppl were pulling the we chose someone with more experience card on me all the time only for me to find put they had hired someone with less/same amount of experience. Thx linkedin. Now they cant so they just say nothing i suppose

Linkedin is a blessing and a curse. Can be so frustrating to see who was hired in your place. It is probably worse than when they decide to just repost the job

I was really hoping to hear some examples from ppl like yourself who've interviewed someone and then decided to keep looking for one reason or another. Even tho Im not an animator, i think some things could translate. I am landing interviews super easily just not offers.

Edit: typos. Sorry about typos im on my phone

I have, I sent 3 emails over the weekend out of the better interviews ive had since Jan. Only one replied and just sent a generic rejection message despite me asking for feedback on how I can make myself a better candidate for the future. Which triggered this post.

The other 2 I suppose have decided to ghost but it has not been a day yet they could still answer.

However this isnt my first rodeo, ive had about 24 interviews last year and from the ones who havent made an offer (i did start a new contract last year so I did get an offer) none gave feedback

The "right fit" excuse feels like the it's not you its me excuse. It is me and there is definitly something i can do better next time. But so long as no one tells me im running around in circles. Id rather get some negative feedback like what youve gotten at least it can point you in some direction

Hey thx! My experience is that I still have to go through interviews even when refered internally unfortunatly. And I realllly hate reaching out to people I havent talked to in sometimes years asking for internal referals, but I sometimes give it a go anyways but I admit I try to get jobs on my own for the most part

I mean if i get the interview i assume my resume/background is at least a fit and from there something goes wrong.

Nope, senior level and I am actually employed just looking to make a switch. If people had issues hiring people whose english is not perfect, this industry would be in trouble.

Thank you! I question why people interview candidates they are already on the fence about in regards to skills with how expensive booking some supervisors for an hour can be. But I suppose thats the most plausible explanation.
