Informing unsuccessful candidates of your decision is a critical moment of truth for internal candidates, as current Pernod Ricard employees, as well as external candidates, are potential brand advocates and consumers.

Agree with your HR Partner how and when to provide this feedback. For internal candidates, it is best practice that you, as the hiring manager, have this discussion.

Remember to base your feedback on concrete , observable reasons and avoid vague explanations such as ‘cultural fit’, or reasons that are linked to their age, sex, race, religious or sexual orientation.

This is feedback is intended to inform and develop the candidate , so prepare the discussion carefully and ask for help from HR in developing your message.
