7 Tough Questions Candidates Have For YOU
Today's jobseekers are more savvy, particularly those who are interviewing for higher-level positions. Instead of just answering questions at interviews, the best and brightest are bringing along a few questions of their own – and if you can't or hesitate to give them an answer on the spot, a valuable potential employee might just walk out the door. Here are seven of the toughest questions that you need to be prepared for.
- What makes your company superior to its competitors?
- What percentage of the market share does your company command?
- What percentage of the company's total profit is generated by the division I will be working in? Is it increasing or decreasing?
- When top performers leave the company, why do they leave and where do they usually go?
- When was the last significant layoff? What criteria were used to select those to stay? What packages were offered to those that were let go?
- Does the company have a program to reward individuals that develop patents / great products, beyond their regular salary and bonus?
- How many days will it take for you (and the company) to make a hiring decision for this position?
