Описание: Many hiring teams think interviews are just conversations, but poor interviewer behavior can actively push away top candidates and damage employer brand. In this episode, you’ll learn how common interviewer mistakes hurt hiring outcomes, how candidates actually interpret interview behavior, and what separates red flag interviewers from high-quality hiring managers who create strong candidate experiences and better hiring decisions.

Non-job-related or illegal questions create legal and brand risk

Candidates share negative experiences far more often than positive ones
