The flip side of interviewing

With the job market the way it is these days there are a lot of candidates interviewing for limited job opportunities. This means that to a certain extent the companies hiring feel they have leverage over the candidates. Here is a short article on 5 ways companies mistreat job seekers. If you have ever interviewed candidates in the past on behalf of some company you may have unknowingly been guilty to some degree of one or more of these. If you have not, then pat yourself on the back and continue doing what you have been doing.

Just remember, when you interview a candidate you are the face of your company to that candidate. If you do commit some of these errors rest assured that the candidate will be talking about it to their friends and family and word of mouth about their mistreatment by your company will spread.
