Reasons Behind Multiple Interviews

  • 📈 The first reason is that multiple interviews increase a company's leverage in the negotiating process, allowing them to offer lower salaries and benefits.
  • 💼 The second reason is that companies believe multiple interviews will make them a better company, following the example of prestigious companies like Google and Apple.
  • 🕒 The third reason is that hiring managers and HR departments get paid for the time they spend on interviews, and filling their calendars with interviews justifies the need for additional manpower.
  • 🚫 The fourth reason is that companies want a reason to reject candidates, and multiple interviews provide a way to do so without exposing themselves to legal liability.
