You interview a candidate and they seem to be great at what they do. They also might be a good addition to the team and organisation.
However, you know beforehand (through some source) that this candidate has been laid off from their current role and is serving notice period. The candidate during the interview refuses to admit that they have been laid off but tells that they have resigned on their own.
Would you still trust this candidate and go ahead hiring them only on basis of merit, or would you focus on building a team that is transparent and open?
Thoughts please.
No, any lying during interview is a definite red flag
Background, I got laid off from an organisation and by god's grace I had a offer, which was not that good 10% decrement in salary, but me being a scared person joined the company.
Now 1 month after I realised I can do much better and ma...
I have been recently laidoff. month end is my last working day. Should I tell recruiters that I have been laid off? Or should I not . If not, how can I hide it?
Checking if there is anyone here who has had to layoff people... How did you do take it mentally and emotionally? Looking for answers from middle managers and HR folks who have to execute decisions taken by others.
