Insider pet peeves from hiring managers/recruiters:

• Did the candidate follow-up with a thank you in writing?
• Was candidate prepared? (especially if referred via agency/recruiter)
• Consistent Interrupting – Once in a while is ok, but consistently throughout the conversation is notable & reflects poorly on the candidates commutations skills
• Engagement level- When a candidate is not asking any questions, it creates the appearance that they are not interested & engaged in the conversation
