How can you tell that the company you’re interviewing for actually cares about its employees?
It can be tricky, finding ways to glean into a company’s culture while you’re in the hiring process. It’s not like you can ask how they treat their employees, because obviously, they will never tell you if they treat them badly. And most companies don’t really let current employees talk to potential hires.
This means that job candidates have to be smart about how they can find out if the workplace they are interviewing for is worth their time. You have to ask the right questions, know what benefits are a must, and what it means to you when a company refuses to provide something.
The job candidate below, for example, recognised a few signs in their hiring process that pointed to a company that doesn’t really care about its employees. First, the hiring process itself was a red flag, since the workplace insisted on doing a group interview with other candidates, which is not a good indication of how attentive the company is to its workers.
But the real reason why this candidate decided to withdraw their application was because of something that happened during the group interview. When the hiring manager asked if anyone had any questions, this candidate decided to inquire about the health insurance for the employees, and to their surprise, they were told that the only employees who are eligible for health insurance are branch managers, meaning only four employees in the whole company.
This was an immediate sign for this job candidate that the company doesn’t value its employees. If they refuse to provide something as basic as health insurance to all their workers, they obviously don’t care about their health. And this candidate has no interest in working for a workplace like that.
The candidate decided they are not going to waste another minute for this company, and left the group interview the second they heard the hiring manager’s response about the health insurance. Was that the right call? Keep scrolling to read all about it.
