It'll be hard to get the courage to do this, but you should ask them directly about it. "Your company lid off 20% of the workforce last week, how will that affect potential new hires like me?"
At the very least, this will expose companies that are wasting your time.
- tracerbulletx 4y agoIt seems unlikely that the people involved in the hiring process will know.
