Because hiring people is risky and expensive, so (all other things being equal) companies prefer candidates they know more about.

- markchristian 7y agoI was actually saying the opposite: the candidate was telling me that they'd looked up the folks on their interview panel, including me.
- quanticle 7y agoI get that, but the context from the article is that of an interviewee looking up the interviewer and commenting that the interviewer was a "ghost" online. To me, that's somewhat bizarre. What bearing does your interviewer's hobbies have on your perception of whether the company and the role would be a good fit for you?
- johnchristopher 7y agoWhere I live, it's expected from candidates to show they looked up the company and have prepared a question regarding a project the company is working on or something else about the company itself. So, you actually end up googling the thing.
- overcode 7y agoThat doesn't address the question at all.
