"These are all very basic questions that should all be asked of every candidate. But, I have seen newer recruiters shy away from them, afraid to hear any 'bad news'. It takes them awhile before they get that asking the questions can save a…"
"Jerry- the first two you mentioned about interviewing with someone else and accepting a counteroffer are essential. You will get burned if you haven't already if you don't ask those questions. Good points."
Emily Gordon commented on Emily Gordon's blog post '10 things you hate to ask, but should'"Again, not difficult, just that often they get overlooked or the answers are taken at face value vs looking for more depth.

Tiffany Branch commented on Emily Gordon's blog post '10 things you hate to ask, but should'"What is so difficult about asking these questions? I would think it is a given."

Jerry Albright commented on Emily Gordon's blog post '10 things you hate to ask, but should'"Bill - your reply reminds me of how many times I've heard other recrutiers say "Nothing's changed has it?" Hiding from reality.....:)("
Bill Schultz commented on Emily Gordon's blog post '10 things you hate to ask, but should'"Good list. I might add that most of these questions should not only be asked at initial screening; but also after each event. Because, things change. And it doesn't suffice to say "any changes since we last…"
