Can AI write interview feedback?

Yes. Give it the interview questions, scoring criteria and factual notes, and it can organise them into a clear draft. A hiring manager or HR colleague must check the evidence, fairness and final wording.

Can AI make candidate feedback fair?

No, not by itself. It can remove some loaded wording and flag unsupported conclusions, but it cannot tell whether the interview process or evidence was consistently fair across candidates.

Can I use ChatGPT to write candidate feedback?

Yes, for a draft based on the minimum information needed for the task. Avoid unnecessary personal or sensitive data, check the output against the notes, and keep responsibility with the employer.

Is AI-generated interview feedback legal in the UK?

Using AI to help draft feedback is not the same as transferring responsibility for the employment decision. This is not professional advice, and a serious discrimination, data protection or employment dispute needs an employment solicitor or qualified HR professional.

YES

As of 13 August 2026, AI can draft candidate interview feedback.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

If this goes wrong, unsupported or biased feedback can affect a candidate's employment prospects and expose the employer to a complaint or dispute.

A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

How to actually do it

Open the interview scorecard, the job criteria and the interview notes for the candidate.
Remove irrelevant personal information and retain only the questions asked, factual answers, observed evidence, scores and agreed criteria.
Paste the supplied prompt into a chatbot and replace each bracketed slot with the role, stage, criteria, notes, scores and required format.
Ask the chatbot to produce the candidate-facing feedback and its separate internal quality-check list.
Compare every factual statement and score in the draft with the original notes, then ask a second interviewer or HR colleague to check consistency, neutrality and any unsupported inference.
Edit the approved wording into the employer's HR system or feedback template, record the human decision-maker and send it through the normal recruitment process.

Prompt

Draft candidate interview feedback for a UK hiring process using only the information below. Do not invent facts, examples, scores or reasons. Separate directly observed evidence from interpretation. Link each point to the relevant interview question or assessment criterion. Use neutral, specific language and identify both strengths and development concerns where the notes support them. Do not refer to protected characteristics, health information, family circumstances, age, nationality, accent, personal appearance or any other irrelevant personal detail. Do not make a final hiring decision unless the decision already appears explicitly in the supplied information. Flag any conclusion that is not supported by a recorded example, any inconsistent scoring, and any wording that could be read as discriminatory or retaliatory. Keep the feedback suitable for sharing with the candidate, and provide a separate short internal quality-check list. This is not professional advice. For a serious employment-law or discrimination concern, ask an employment solicitor or qualified HR professional to assess it.

What it gets wrong

AI cannot know whether an interviewer treated comparable candidates consistently unless you provide comparable evidence.
AI cannot turn vague impressions into fair evidence; it can only flag that the notes are vague.
AI cannot take responsibility for the hiring decision, the wording sent to the candidate or compliance with UK employment law.
AI can reproduce bias in the interview notes while making the language sound neutral.
AI cannot resolve a disputed account of what happened in an interview without a human investigation.

Even on a YES, the friction has a name: legal accountability, judgement under ambiguity and stakes of error.
