Even if you are a native speaker, some outside advice would help.

> "Recruit Top Developers with Feedback-Driven Interviews"

That doesn't make logical sense. Recruiting is about finding candidates. "with interviews" makes no sense in this context.

"Feedback Driven Interviews" means nothing to anyone. Google doesn't know what it means. It is not an industry term. It is bullshit bingo. That never works.

Why not start with "Improve your hiring process by ..."?

I am no copy writing pro, but you need to learn to invert. Become the customer and sell yourself. Write in the active voice.

Native english speaker here. I consider CV reviews, phone screens, in person interviews etc to be part of the 'recruiting' process which encompasses basically everything before the candidate signs a contract and becomes an employee.

So 'recruiting with interviews' makes sense to me.
