I think scores would be good in the potentially time-saving way you outlined. I also think that having a more nuanced sense of how well my applications—or specific parts of it—were perceived/scored would be helpful.
My experience asking for qualitative feedback has been mixed—sometimes I have gotten just flat out ignored, at other times I have gotten the usual ‘no can do due to lack of operational capacity’ and some times I have actually gotten valuable personal feedback.
My idea is that there has to be a way to make some feedback beyond yes/no automatically available to all applicants. Maybe simply being told one is a particularly strong applicant and should reapply or apply to similar roles is good (and kind) enough.
I suppose I’m skeptical that quant scores in an auto-sent email will actually give you a nuanced sense—but I do see how, e.g., if over time you realize it’s always your interview or always your quant question that scores poorly, that is a good signal
I do think being kind is an underrated part of hiring!
