Victoria and Lorna from Expert Interviewers join us to discuss why most interview experiences are negative and how companies can improve their hiring processes by training managers properly. We explore the evolution of interviewing practices, the cost of bad hires, and share cringe-worthy interview horror stories that highlight systemic problems.
• Interview horror stories – from stone-faced managers to interviewers putting their feet on tables
• Why 95% of memorable interview experiences are negative
• How Expert Interviewers create viral content that resonates with both candidates and hiring managers
• The true cost of a bad hire (approximately 30% of first-year salary)
• Why illegal interview questions persist and how to avoid them
• The "license to hire" concept – training dedicated interviewers rather than all managers
• How power imbalances between companies and candidates affect the interview process
• Creating a balance between structured interviews and making candidates comfortable
• Why taking notes during interviews is crucial (and how AI can help)
