Originally posted by psychocandy View PostPerhaps I've missed something. How was the OP 2nd option? He was asked to attend an interview. Unless told otherwise I would assume I was being interviewed on an equal basis to a number of other candidates. Client then would decide who, if any, they wanted.
No-one goes to an interview if client says we've got someone lined up but we want to see you just in case.
Its not about having experience in building teams, its about being fair to people. If you have a position, if you invite someone to interview, at least give them all an equal chance and decide afterwards. Anything else is just being a nobhead in my book.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
