Comment on: Topic 'Question of the day: How do you handle the candidate who doesn't stop talking?': on to get an understanding that I find difficulty with. They wax on lyrically about how they can fix the world, and change the business they dont yet work in, never once pausing for clarification.

It might be a tad late at this point to implement but I would ask the client if there's any standard policy in use (i.e. we didn't just make this up on the spot to get your references) on reference/background checks to give you a little more push with the candidate. If she can't see an offer until she relents the references it may just flush out some of the reasons behind her hesitancy and save you/the client a potential headache...or axe murderer. …; Added by Kyle Schafroth at 11:35am on February 24, 2012
