Comment on: Blog Post 'Yes I hold out on my candidates, but I also tell them everything': iew a job posting in order to know I am looking to fill a position and the applicable details, but I think you're asking about the general nature of the conversation... Limiting how much the candidate knows on the front end means they are less likely to filter and tailor the information they give out about their experience and background. Let's say for example that I'm looking for an engineer to work on door structures and assemblies. If the candidate knows this up front it may be like pulling eye teeth to get information about other experiences out of him or her. They know what the job entails and will be inclined to beef up the experience they have in that area. If the only thing they are aware of is that my company designs, engineers, and manufactures vehicles they will be forced to give a more broad overview of their experience. If they spend a good deal of time discussing body structures, doors, moving mechanisms, etc. my level of confidence goes up that they may have the skills to perform this job. However, if they go really in-depth about a bunch of unrelated experience like seating or airbags and barely touch on doors they may be better qualified for a different department.…; Added by Gino Conti at 11:57am on April 7, 2009
