Does Interviewer's Behavior Affects Job Seeker's Decision

Hi following is my opinion , I usually REJECT bcoz of


* Withholding information about position
I hate ppl who withhold info abt job position, once one interviewer was not all ready to tell me abt job position, and asked me to come for interview that too to another city, i straight away refused him,.


* Turning interview into cross-examination
Some ppl really do ask questions like POLICE.

* Showing up late
I hate ppl who are not punctual and make me wait, if the time is 10.00 i be there latest by 09.30 ,, once one interviewer made me wait for more than 3 hrs,, i mean he is not tht much busy that even after giving me appointment he did like this,


* Asking questions unrelated to job skills
like what does ur sister / bro do , i told she is engineer,,
then he asks ,, why did not u do engineering ????

You touched the Hornet's Nest. How True. The theme / thrust of Selection Interview is to Create a Positive Impact on the Applicat Interviewee. Whenever the Interviewers do Bad Home Work ( the instances you qouted) Organizations lose. But is the Head-HR Listening?

Let HR re-dedicate to aim of Interview.

I agree, there is a lot of discussion on how an interviewee should act, but hardly anyone speaks about the other side of the story, i.e. how the interviewer behaves.

As a soft skills trainer, I have a course on how to conduct interviews - ranging from fresh appointment interviews to exit interviews - and though a lot of HR middle managers are interested in such courses, most do not know that these are available.

In large organisations where a lot of interviews take place, if a course similar to the above were to be held for all regular and potential interviewers, it would not only improve the image of the organisation, vis-a-vis the interviewees, making them eager to join an organisation where the interviewers are so 'user-friendly', but it would also help the organisation as well, since if interviews are conducted the right way, the right candidates would be selected. Similarly, properly held exit interviews would be an ongoing process to keep a finger on the organisation's pulse and ascertain where problem areas have emerged or are emerging.

I operate from Mumbai, though I visit other cities for training courses.

If your own organisation is interested in conducting this course, then we could discuss it.

Otherwise, I do not see how I can help you individually. But when I have a course in Mumbai, I can call you.

Regards.

HI,

yes it matters a lot,be it HR man or person taking interview from a particular function.

It matters more when u know that u will report to the same person or he will be ur super boss.

Hello Shilpa,

I agree with those who say the interviewers behaviour affects the Candidate's decision to accept / reject the offer.

I believe the interviewer is the first and the only one person who represents his organisation and can sell the company as well as the position to the candidate . at this pont if the interviewer has to act pricy , un apporachable adn thinksd that throwing attitude means showing power then i must say such people are sadly mistaken infact if they do not have time they should ont be conducting interviews and secondly if they feel they can behave kind and friendly enough they should not be getting in to a profession like recruitment bcoz it is the hr specially the recruiters duty to make the person feel wanted , important and special in cases where the candidate is worth it.moreover even if the candidate is unfit , im sure there are kind humble and more diplomatic ways to handle the situation instead of pyschologically disturbing the candidate.

i compeltely agree as i havepersonally experienced such rude and unprofessional recruiters who force the candidates to get a negative idea of the company.
