Education department lacks a mechanism to give honest feedback to internal candidates who made a bad impression, causing candidates to waste time applying for positions they will not get.

No structured process exists for HR or department chairs to privately and constructively tell internal candidates that their past conduct or performance makes them unlikely to be hired, leading to repeated futile applications.
