This.
Another variant of this challenge is; when you have multiple interviewers and some are positive some negative about the candidate. Generally companies will always side toward rejection unless there is a specific reason not to (for example, you need someone super technical but they struggled on the soft-skills side and you have the right team to help them grow in).
- qznc 6y agoI can derive two very different strategies from this. Either "generalize and avoid showing any reason to reject you" or alternatively "specialize and provide a reason too good to reject you". Surely, it depends on the situation of the specific employer. So the trick for a candidate would be to figure out if there exists a single argument (e.g. a certain skill) which makes it impossible to not hire you. Coming back to the original question: You can be honest to the candidate; figure out what your organization is desperate for and tell them. Of course, this gives up some negotiation strength.
