What should you always ask during an interview debrief call?
“Will you accept an offer at these terms?” OR anything related to an offer.
Why is “willing to commute long distances” considered a red flag? What questions should you ask this candidate in order to dig deeper?
Why: Potential burnout, desperate, may want to work adjusted hours/work from home, a potential flight risk.
