I'm not sure I'd call the feedback obtained by asking the candidate "Would you recommend us?" before letting them know if they've been hired unbiased. Personally, I would be thinking about ways my answer would impact the hiring decision and/or salary negotiation.

That's a great point.

I wonder which would one be less biased. My leaning now is towards asking the question after the decision. Perhaps even discard the feedback from folks that were offered a position -- that way, the focus is on making sure even those that weren't offered a position still had a positive experience.
