The interview is a tool to quickly evaluate the candidate. Not every candidate reaches the point where they could be even considered being a person I'll "be working together with for years". There're more than one candidate at any given time and I still have my day job to do.
I don't know what does this say to a candidate, but I surely hope they're mature enough to understand that there's nothing personal about it. They will be treated with dignity and courteously during the whole process, but that's all I can promise.
- jghn 12y agoThe thing is that they're also interviewing you. If I expect a candidate to spend time prepping and then taking time off of work to come in and talk to us, the least I can do is take the time to properly prep for them. I know that when I'm on the candidate side of the fence it makes a big difference to me if a company/interviewers seem like they've actually taken the time to get to know who I am instead of just walking in a room and that being the first time they've checked out my resume. I realize it's not personal and I don't expect it but if a company/interviewer puts in the extra effort it's a definite positive.
