Interviewing After Hours

One major beverage company
I worked with
interviewed potential employees
on the weekends.
Their explanation for that timing
was that they were looking for superstars.
Superstars already had jobs.
They normally worked late during the week.
But even superstars could find time
to interview on the weekend.

I loved it.
I didn’t have to sneak out
or make an excuse to leave the office
early (for me).

Seth Priebatsch,
founder of SCVNGR,
also interviews on Saturdays.
“I’ll interview people on Saturdays,
late at night,
early in the morning.
Those are perfectly reasonable times
to expect someone who is a rock star
to be on top of his or her game
and excited.”

If you want a superstar
or rock star,
interview at times convenient for them.
