Several red flags arise during job interviews, including interviewer punctuality, with late arrivals creating a negative impression. Tone is critical; overly formal or scripted approaches can signal a one-sided conversation, which candidates find off-putting. Disorganized interviews, vague job descriptions, and unclear answers regarding pay further concern candidates. Lengthy hiring processes that require multiple interviews or unpaid assessments contribute to dissatisfaction. Additionally, asynchronous video interviews, where candidates record responses, have drawn criticism for lacking human interaction.
Liz Stout noted that punctuality is crucial; an interviewer showing up late, though not catastrophic, is "not a good start" to the interview process.
Rebecca Potance pointed out that an overly formal or scripted tone makes interviews feel like one-way traffic, highlighting that generic questions from interviewers can be a major red flag.
Disorganized interviewers and those who give vague answers about job responsibilities or compensation raise concerns. Candidates often seek clear communication during interviews.
Frustration from candidates is common when facing lengthy hiring processes involving too many interviews or unrealistic tasks like unpaid assessments. Asynchronous video interviews are also unpopular.
