Interviewing has become a mess. Candidates are getting ghosted. Companies are asking for free labor. And everyone is feeling just a little bit weird about it. In this episode, Whitney and Catie unpack how the interview process has become both a branding opportunity and a moral minefield — for companies and candidates alike.
They share real stories from the field, call out common mistakes, and make the case that your interview process is your employer brand. Whether you're a hiring manager, HR leader, or a job seeker trying to decode a clunky interview journey, you'll walk away with practical tips and honest truths.
From panel overload to unethical take-home assignments, we're naming names (gently) and lighting the path forward. The goal? Make the process more human, more efficient, and way less cringe.
