I don't know about anyone else, but if they don't have me do at least a baker's dozen worth of interviews, then I start to worry they don't properly value me.

Like I'm not the equivalent of a one night stand job seeker. You need to wine and dine me with multiple phone calls, technical interviews, all-day in-person interviews, and interrogating all of my references before I'll even think of playing hard to get by threatening to leave the negotiating table in order to get my fair share of TC and ultimately agree to join your company and stay overnight on a major production screw(up).

- chrstphrknwtn 3y agoIf it takes thirteen interviews for someone, or a group of people, to know if I'm worth hiring, then I would assume they have no idea what they're doing. That seems like a waste of everybody's time.
- hinkley 3y agoI kept waiting for the sarcasm tag that never came.

- jakupovic 3y agoNot exactly sure if you're being sarcastic or not. But I am for the wining and dining part, accompanied by a good interview it can be fun. The other 12 parts can be skipped.
- mooreds 3y agoThat's what I thought too--is the poster being sarcastic?
- meetingthrower 3y agoYes
- mortenjorck 3y agoPerhaps we should be worried that such a clear (to me, at least) use of hyperbole can nonetheless be seen as potentially serious in this job market.
- cableshaft 3y agoI guess I did need that /s. I thought I was being sufficiently over the top but I guess I wasn't. I hate multiple interviews. The best interviews I've had were a single 45 minute interview.
- tbrownaw 3y agoNo, you were definitely sufficiently over the top. It's just hard to tell if you're poking fun at current hiring practices, or at current dating practices. Or maybe at both.
