Interviewing someone who has interviewed me

[swamp]

Tear them to fuсking pieces!

Seriously, study their CV and find the holes. Find the little skeletons, those vague job descriptions that hide their crappy roles as a glorified data entry clerk. Or the bits with too much "we" and "the team" where they changed tapes while the big boy architects did the real work.

Get what you need and ambush them. The worst, most vindictive interviewers are contractors!

Forget the vindictive approach.

Be as sweet and nice to him as you can possibly muster.

Then offer him the job.

On his first day, take him in the office for a "private chat".

Break open the bone china, offer him a cup of your finest Darjeeling, and explain to him that you are not a vindictive man, and that you always forgive those who have wronged you.

I guarantee he will be terrified for the rest of his tenure.

WHS+1 - that'd be ace.

Make your final question:-

"If you were to be our successful candidate, would you accept it?"

Whatever he answers is a win/win situation for you..

Either he's given you a reason to turn him down and will know he's wasted his own time, or he's had to beg for a job then not get it and live knowing he had to beg you for it.

Make your final question:-

a) "If you were to be our successful candidate, would you accept it?"

"Just as you wouldn't say to a candidate during the interview whether they were successful, so I won't say whether I would accept. That would demonstrate poor negotiation skills on my part, and as I have outlined, I am far better than that. But be assured I would not be here now if I did not want to be here."

b) "The agency have instructed me I am not to say at the interview whether I would accept or not."

Q1. "Soooooo. Tell me about a recent mistake you made and how you feel about it now!"

[NotAllThere]

As you are a professional, if he's the best man for the job, you take him on.

Make it the longest interview in history.... spend ages just staring at him before you ask him any question.... when he answers, just look out the window...

Oh, how I'd love to get the oppertunity to interview some of the knobs I have come across...
