Hi Community,
I would like your opinion on the follow.
We interviewed a candidate last Thursday (the day of the heatwave), it was for a senior position. The interview went well but neither myself nor my colleague were ‘blown away’, however the candidate has since followed up with an email explaining that he doesn’t feel that he did himself any justice during the interview and had been affected by the heat.
On paper he is an ideal candidate and has come highly recommended. However, on the day he was a little lack lustre. The manager that I interviewed with thinks that the heat is a poor excuse and the follow up email has confirmed in their opinion that this person isn’t right for our organisation.
My question is, in general what is your opinion of follow up emails such as these from a candidate?
Thanks.
