Why You Shouldn’t Expect Fairness in The Hiring Process
11/20/23 • 20 min
This week, my friend and sometimes del facto co-host, Jack Kelly, interviews me on his WeCruitr podcast.
In this excerpt, we discuss:
- Survey of hiring managers lying to job candidates about the hiring process.
- The pressure to perform from candidates to embellish (lie) during interviews.
- The battle of the salary range conversation.
- What’s said during interviews is not put in writing (often).
- Managers not telling the truth when asked about bad staffers.

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number

This is Why Hiring is Really Hard For Employers
In this episode, Keirsten Greggs, Jack Kelly, and I discuss the hiring challenges and what job seekers and hiring teams do to hurt the process.
Omissions, lies, and deception during the hiring process.
It’s a tight job market, and there’s lots of angst on both sides of the hiring table.
“...recruiters who are desperate and got to get someone in there. So they tell a tall tale of how wonderful things are, and it doesn’t turn out...”
Job seekers must ask in writing for promises stated during an interview so they can consider them seriously in their negotiation strategies.
There are so many addendums and so many clauses. Employers have specific legally compliant language that they have to use.
What part will AI play in the hiring process?
What kind of training do hiring managers, recruiters, and interviewers have come into the hiring process?
