When 'we didn't check' turns into 'the candidate doesn't know'

The author analyzes the issue of bias and inaccuracy in feedback following technical interviews for a Go developer position. The focus is on situations where an interviewer's failure to test specific skills is mistakenly interpreted as a candidate's incompetence. The article examines discrepancies between the actual interview process and the final feedback regarding topics such as Go concurrency, infrastructure operations, and Python/frontend skills. It raises important questions about the quality of hiring processes in the IT industry and how subjective conclusions can distort a professional profile. The author advocates for a more objective approach to candidate evaluation, emphasizing that 'lack of confirmation' should not be equated with a lack of skill. This piece is useful for developers facing unfair rejections and for hiring managers looking to improve their talent assessment methods.
