i have observed most of the interviewers ask if we have any question related to the team or position or the company at the end of the interview. if the interviewer has already rejected the candidate in his mind, why he even wastes his and the candidate’s time. the innocent candidate tries to find a good question and shows interest in the team/ company.
what would i do knowing about a team / position/ company which cant join due to the rejection
comments
I will trade some knowledge at time of hire for someone who is doing it for more than just a paycheck
1. You shouldn’t tell candidate whether you incline or reject. Asking for questions only passed candidate will uncover tour decision.
2. You don’t know whether a candidate passed because there are other interviewers, so the candidate can pass even if you reject.
3. You provide information and advices that can be useful in general (if candidate asks right questions).
The interview and part is also an opportunity for the applicant to check out the company. It is important for the candidate to try and judge their impression of fit with the team and the company . In the event of a hiring decision decline or candidate refusal of an offer, the candidate may wish to reapply in the future someday, and it is important for the interviewing team to give the applicant as frank an understanding as possible about the company.
How excited the employee is about working at the company comes out well before that end phase of the interview . That is not its purpose.
