WHAT A CANDIDATE EXPECT?
As a candidate going through the interview
process, there are certain expectations you may
have. These expectations can vary from person to
person, but there are some common standards that
are generally expected by candidates.

A NICE WELCOME AND EYE CONTACT
One of the first things you would expect as a
candidate is a warm and friendly welcome from the
interviewer. A good first impression is
important, and a welcoming attitude can help set
the tone for the interview. Additionally, eye
contact during the interview shows that the
interviewer is engaged and interested in what you
have to say.

PROVIDING COMPLETELY CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT THE
COMPANY AND THE POSITION
Candidates expect the interviewer to provide them
with clear and accurate information about the
company and the position they are applying for.
This includes detail about the companys mission,
values, culture, and the responsibilities and
requirements of the position. Clear information
helps candidates make an informed decision about
whether the role is a good fit for them.

ASKING QUESTIONS TO GET TO KNOW THE PERSON
WITHOUT CRITICIZING
During the interview, candidates expect the
interviewer to ask questions that allow them to
showcase their skills, experiences, and
personality. These questions should be designed
to understand the candidates qualifications and
suitability for the role. Its important for
interviewers to create a comfortable environment
where candidates feel encouraged to share their
strengths and achievements without fear of
criticism.
PROVIDING CLOSURE, EVEN IF THE RESULT IS NEGATIVE
Candidates appreciate receiving closure after an
interview, even if the outcome is not in their
favor. It is respectful to let candidates know
the result and thank them for their time and
effort. This helps candidates move forward in
their job search and maintain a positive
impression of the company.

THANK YOU
While these are some of the commonly expected
standards, it is important to note that not all
companies or interviewers may meet these
expectations. Lets explore some reasons why a
recruiter may not get back to you even if you
meet these standards.
