He who is getting hired is at the mercy of the person doing the hiring. That's just how it plays out. If I'm getting hired, I have no say on how a company should conduct their interview process. Their interview process is a window into how they operate, and if it's terrible, I won't want to work for them. i would hate to have a great interview process only to find out that the company is terrible. There is a need for terrible interview processes, so long as it matches the company. The last time I had a bunch of interviews, there was a company I interviewed at, they were so terrible I knew I didn't want to work for them. At the new company, I ran into people who interviewed at same company and refused to work for them, and into two more who use to work for that company and were glad to leave.
With that said, the biggest motivation for me is compensation. I don't care what problems they are trying to solve, I don't have to love it. Want me to write in COBOL? Fine, I'll learn it. Want me to work 10hrs a day? Fine, compensate me accordingly. Everything has a price.
- pekk 14y agoI find that people don't respond well to this 'mercenary' attitude. They usually want you to act like you love it, even if it's stupid. They want you to commit long-term, even if you are a temporary contractor. Etc. Every company is like an oversensitive lover who has to be the best ever.
