I conducted an interview recently where I started by giving the candidate time for questions, and he occupied nearly all of the allotted time that way.
I wasn't certain whether he was trying to avoid being asked questions, but the questions he asked were insightful and useful to help evaluate him.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoYeah, that's a problem :) The solution is simple. Make the meeting more conversational, at least initially. It's a form of dating, if you will. No one wants to be interrogated. No one wants to do all the talking or all the listening. Yet most inteviews are some derivation of what would be a bad date by most reasonable accounts. More eHarmony. Less Tinder. p.s. I'd even recommend that prior to the first meeting, the company send an email / docs titled FAQs that covers the obvious stuff. Is it a new position or a back fill? How long is it open? Next steps in the process? Not only does this inform the candidate it's great context, it shows a level of thoroughness and processionalism, etc.
