To those with hiring experience - how do you navigate giving feedback to unsuccessful job candidates? Do you even provide feedback to candidates, or do you remain detached? And if you don't offer feedback, how don't you feel sorry?

I provide feedback only when asked. I am very specific and keep only one intent in my mind as I am providing feedback - to help the candidate land a job somewhere else.
