uninterviewed

Skipped by reporters

Uninterviewed describes someone who has not been interviewed—whether for a job, by journalists, or for research purposes.

The word often implies a missed opportunity or oversight: The uninterviewed witnesses could have changed the outcome of the trial.

It can also describe candidates eliminated before reaching the interview stage: Her application left her uninterviewed despite strong qualifications.
