" Interviewer's Behavior Affects Job Seeker's Decision on Job Offer "

Two-thirds of job seekers say that the interviewer influences their decision to accept a position.
Job seekers identified a number of interviewer behaviors that adversely affect their willingness to work at the company, such as

* Acting like has no time to talk to me
* Withholding information about position
* Turning interview into cross-examination
* Showing up late
* Appearing unprepared for interview
* Asking questions unrelated to job skills

so what do you say friends
Does it really happens

It affects, all that you have mentioned projects the company's culture. The interviewer is not seen as an individual but as an organisation. The candidate will surely have resistance to all these kind of behavior & develop a different mindset. If they join inspite of not being comfortable with their first interaction with the company drivers (HR), then they may start following it & it is contagious........... So its advisable not to project these behavior while conducting interviews which will help in building a better organisation in along run

an interviewer represents the company or brand at that point of time.. he cannot afford to act unprofessional.

sometimes what happens is HR fixes an interview and the person supposed to conduct it goes haywire at the last moment.....

Thanks Archana for your valuable advice. And i will agree with you with a small quote which is know i.e

"First Impression Is The Best Impression "

So the candiatate may have the impression even after joining the company

a tangent....

last impression when an employee leaves is the most important.... the said person worked N nos of years for a company and if the company acts unprofessionally during severance as most of them do, the bad branding runs forever...

Hi Shilpa,

Yes, to some extent it afffects.

I had few such experiences where the offer was really gud...but after seeing the interviewer's behaviour ,I had to say no...In fact ,in one case I was left with no option but to clearly say "No".

And ,yes,I have no regrets for the same !!

Hai Kavitha

Thank you very much for sharing.....

So during interview our body language should be good enough..

Even laughing at a candiatate either face to face or Telephone will also put candiatate in dilemma to take a offer or not

Shilpa
