Except the interviewee.
- MichaelBurge 5y agoThere's often a signing bonus. If there's a 10% chance of getting the job and a $50k signing bonus is common, then your EV is $5000 per interview. Even if there weren't, then 10% of the extra compensation vs. an easier-to-hire company with your discount horizon applied would also count as payment.

- bacheaul 5y ago> $50k signing bonus is common I clearly live in a different labour market to this conversation. How many places in the world is this common?
- icedchai 5y agoThe interviewee is usually interviewing on their current company's dime. It's even easier now with many folks working from home, you don't even need an excuse.
- sgtnoodle 5y agoIf you do it right, candidates can leave with a positive impression even after being rejected. I've maintained correspondence with a few candidates over the years because they felt like they learned a thing or two about engineering during the course of the interview, and they wanted some additional mentorship.
