A Candidate Didn't Do Well In Her Interview But She Was Hired by wristbangle: 3:46pm On Oct 24, 2017 |
I culled this story from an hiring manager in LinkedIn which would inspire most especially the unemployed. A Candidate didn't do well in the interview. I still HIRED her. Here's why. Generally at the end of an interview, the interviewer will ask the interviewee if he or she has any questions. She asked these 3 questions to HR Manager. It was pitiful to see her struggling to answer them. 1. What are the company's growth plan and strategy for the next 5 years? 2. Why should I work for your organization? 3. What are the weaknesses of your company and how do you see this position contributing to strengthening those weaknesses? The HR Manager wasn't impressed but as the hiring manager I had the final say. I ended up hiring her and she did rock the boat but she helped the team and me as a leader to grow. Interviewing numerous candidates over the years has taught me: *Sometimes the best employees don't make good first impressions. *Acing an interview and performing on a job are two different things. *Strong employees intimidate weak managers. Do you agree? Lalasticlala Source: Brigette Hyacinth post on LinkedIn 52 Likes 3 Shares |

Penalty82: This is quite common nowadays. I have actually been a victim of this situation where 4 people (which includes me) made it to final stage in a firm. 3guys and a lady. She is well endowed as she was first called in by the HR guy of which the interview lasted for an hour. Our own no pass 5 mins and the next day we got a regret mail. I called the babe, she said she was asked to resume with immediate effect 143 Likes 3 Shares |

Okay. Did this happen in Nigeria? could be she was the most qualified candidate academically but luck didn't shine on her during the interview and the HR couldn't afford to lose her. This rarely happens in Nigeria, if you ask me. |

I hold the view that the majority of Nigeria's interviewers and HRs are not smart enough to interview anyone or spot intelligence. Their judgements are mostly based on emotions. I hope they are reading this. lol 14 Likes |
