5 obvious signals shouting at the employer don't hire this person


During a job interview, there are several signals that can warn employers not to hire someone. As recruiters, we frequently have the opportunity to meet potential candidates who are ruining their chance to be hired by just telltale signs.

How do you unmask these candidates who should not be hired?

Posted by Forbes and written by the very interesting and always relevant Liz Ryan, there is an article, of which we present a short summary, relating 5 signs that prove that a candidate is not the right one for the job.

The 5 signs:

  • The candidate knows next to nothing about your business
  • The candidate does not ask any questions or ask you about the assurance and comfort of the workstation, anything except the responsibilities related to the position
  • The candidate answers questions vaguely and when you ask for more details, he / she is quick to change the subjectThe candidate cannot explain his career choices and job changes
  • The candidate is hostile and unpleasant

If the candidate you meet asks in an interview "What is the company doing?" "Is a bad sign. There is no reason that he should not know anything about the company and he should be able to answer these simple questions:

  • What does the company do
  • What are the services or products sold by the company and what is the target market
  • What is its history, route, location, etc.
  • What are its initiatives and ambitions

During a job interview, the interviewer must determine if the candidate is ideal for the job. So, during your next interview, remember these 5 alerts to increase your chances of being the right candidate.
