The job interview is a crucial process in any process to manage talent.
The CEO of an investment firm argues that the inflation scenario does not lend itself to job candidates asking a certain question in a job interview.
Without a doubt, the economic scenario has reconsidered priorities in companies and what is valuable in a job candidate and what is not necessary, so it is interesting to see a curious study conducted in 2021 by InterviewMe.pl, where listed the most common questions in a job interview, discovering that the most popular with 36 percent preference was Tell me something about yourself, followed by 35 percent who chose the question Why do you want to work with us? And 27 percent who questioned How did you find the vacancy?
The “forbidden” question
Matt Higgins, CEO of RSE Venturesadvised job candidates in an editorial to never ask about the company’s remote work policies during a job interview.
To defend his advice, Higgins raises the current inflation scenario, where he assures that a considerable number of jobs are at risk, for which he asks not to be ignorant of reality and to recognize that although remote employment that avoids the friction of office life, you must understand the economic situation that is dictating changes to the market, so every candidate for a job must have two qualities: cunning and commitment.
“One in three women believes that macroeconomic uncertainty is a threat to their work. And both 15 percent of men and women seek salary increases in line with inflation, ”she adds in this regard. Monica FloresPresident of ManpowerGroup LATAM, when I talk about the fact that in the midst of this economic scenario, more than 40 percent of women felt they were undervalued in the work they did.
For him CEO of RSE Ventureswhat counts today in a job interview is willingness to work on the part of the candidate and secondly, what does he pay attention to, since Higgins argues that a person who asks about the remote work policy in the middle of an interview is perceived as a person who is focused on the wrong priorities, so for the manager, a person with this profile immediately becomes an undesirable candidate.
“Imagine this scenario: You close your interview with a question about remote work, and you get a cold reception. The next day, the hiring manager meets another candidate who says that he might be in the office early next Monday morning.
Sure, you may be more qualified. But there is a real chance that the other job applicant will be perceived as more engaged. This could be true even for managers of companies that have very strong remote work policies, ”he staged to explain his point.
These cases allow us to understand what is valuable today in talent management and how the economy is affecting the labor market, precisely in the priorities that companies and employees have, making the qualities that Higgins recommends to everyone more relevant than ever. employee to have today: cunning and commitment.
