People Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interviewers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“I don\u2019t know how to structure my interviews, and that makes me feel insecure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“This interview process sucks, I feel like they aren\u2019t trying to get to know me, or even following the basic rules of human decency.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have too many recruiter calls that lead nowhere.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Business Motivation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poorly structured interview processes lead to candidate frustration, poor perception of the company, and most importantly loss of good candidates \u2014 sometimes forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

General mindset: Humility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You are trying to win over candidates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Top companies understand that finding great people is hard, and it\u2019s their job to get them to join their mission. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Engage:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recruiter should only engage candidate after establishing general interest from HM.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t ask for salary expectations upfront, it shuts down the conversation too soon.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
