Your Interview Process – Too Hot, Too Cold or Just Right?

Fistful_of_talentToday over on Fistful of Talent, I share the true story of an interview for a senior level candidate gone wrong (only the name has been changed to protect the innocent), as well as some suggestions for companies and recruiters to ensure that their interview process enables them to attract top talent.

Check out my post to learn how the 2008 version Goldilocks (of Goldilocks and The Three Bears fame) needs to be treated in order to find your interview process “just right”.

I’d love for you to add your comments, additions  or suggestions to the post as well!

The student shared that he wasn’t very fond of recruiters in general (present company excepted of course), because they only view him based upon his past experience, not for what he wants to be – or can be. Since he currently held a sales position in a hot industry, recruiters were very interested in talking with him about similar roles, but not about the career move he wants to make – a leadership role in another industry.
