I have another suggestion.

I have another suggestion. How about giving some real feedback on how a candidate performed on an interview? I realize that its almost impossible for companies to reveal what they really think of an interviewee but it would be immensely helpful for everyone involved. Was I really not qualified, or did you just not like my tie/cologne/hair? Did I know the material but am the wrong age? My whiteboard coding was great but I spilled my drink at lunch and ate with my mouth open? I realize that most (all) of these things could get a company in truly hot water (ie. age discrimination) but without some additional information a candidate can be left feeling very confused and unsure how to improve. If I'm really too old then maybe I should get out of the business. If I flubbed the algorithm part of the interview then maybe I can study up and be ready for the next company. I wish there was a way to give companies a one-time "Get out of jail Free" card and have them tell me exactly why they didn't want me to move on to the next step. :/
