Is Coaching Candidates During The Interview Ethical?

Interviewing can sometimes feel like a strategic game, where both sides are cautious, aiming to unravel each other's backgrounds and intentions. Initially, the company may hold more bargaining power, but as the interview progresses, gut feelings and potential pitfalls often become recurring themes. Instead of genuinely grasping a candidate's valuable skills and behaviors, interviewers sometimes focus on these to eliminate rather than understand.

It's important to note that no two interviews are identical, yet there are moments when interviewers expect candidates to almost read their minds or intuit the next step. This leads us to this week's thought-provoking question: Is it considered unethical to provide guidance to a candidate during the interview process?

Join us, Krissy, Emily, and Lizzy, as we delve into this somewhat controversial topic, offering distinct perspectives on how to navigate it ethically, ensuring a win-win outcome for both parties involved.
