>Keller and Dlugos found that getting an interview signaled to candidates that they have many of the characteristics needed to move into the job. An interview also allowed candidates to receive feedback from hiring managers about any knowledge and skills they may currently lack, as well as how to acquire them if they want to be hired for a similar job in the future.
Makes sense that it can be mitigated by ... working with the employee.
A simple rejection without much contact sends a very different message. Nobody likes be rejected without a shot / by some corporate machine.
And for the hiring manager meeting these people might be a good thing to do by default anyway. I've gotten jobs where I was told "I didn't even know you'd want that job / that you would be a good fit until we talked about it." from folks I worked with for 10 years.
