With almost 50,000 upvotes, Bad Glassdoor Reviews is our number one interview red flag. Lots of candidates research their potential new employer before their interview and that includes how their employees feel too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>Poor Communication<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interviewees are encouraged to ask questions as part of most hiring processes, but if those questions are met with poor answers, this can put a candidate off so much that it\u2019s number two on our red flags list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A condescending tone and poor explanation of training also feature in our top 15, as employees are able to envisage a future with a lack of respect and little attention to personal or career development.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>Overworking Culture<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did the advert say full time but the interviewer is suggesting it\u2019s more 996 than 9 to 5?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red flags for overworking have four entries in our top 15, as it can come in many forms including suggesting that someone take on more than their job role and \u201cwear many hats\u201d or phrases such as staff \u201cenjoy overtime\u201d , working weekends and even \u201cwork hard, play hard\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google searches for Overwork Culture <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/explore?date=today%205-y&amp;q=overwork%20culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hit a record 13,000 a month<\/a> just before the pandemic, thankfully those have dropped to fewer than 2000 a month in early 2023, possibly thanks to the rise in flexible and hybrid working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>Clothing Rules<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cClothing with the company logo\u201d comes in at number 4 on our list of red flags. Some businesses need a uniform so customers and clients can identify their staff, in a shop or care environment for example. If you work in an office though, is there really a need to be wearing that work-branded hoody and cap? Probably not, according to our research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>Desperate Employer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nice to be wanted but as \u201csuggesting you sign the contract immediately\u201d is in our top 5 red flags, employees are wisely wary of a company that seems desperate. A business that puts pressure on someone to sign immediately could be very efficient, it could also be a sign of a high staff turnover or bad HR planning and that could be a question for the hiring team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>The Family<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re like family here\u201d. Work isn\u2019t your family, unless you work in a family business. This red flag makes it into our top 15, as it implies an emotional investment in the business and the potential for people working so closely that the personal and professional lines blur. That\u2019s fine in an established business where relationships have built over time, but for a new recruit that could be completely overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#99ba14\"><strong>Pay Transparency&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2018, Glassdoor found that 62% of potential candidates cited pay transparency as the most important thing they look for in a job advert. If it wasn\u2019t in the advert and they\u2019re still being shady in the interview that\u2019s a huge red flag for Reddit users too, with two pay-related complaints in our list, \u201cUndercutting Salary Offer\u201d at 10, and \u201cDodging Questions about Pay\u201d at number 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cHiring teams should keep these red flags in mind when interviewing. The interview can often be the first experience of the internal workings of a company for a potential employee and it should present the best version of the business, just as the candidate will be showing the best version of themselves. Hiring can be an arduous, long and costly process and it would be a shame to have found the right candidate, only for the interview to make them think twice before signing their contract. \u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucinda Pullinger, Managing Director UK, The Instant Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/explore?date=today%205-y&amp;q=overwork%20culture\">https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/explore?date=today%205-y&amp;q=overwork%20culture<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.co.uk\/employers\/blog\/glassdoor-study-job-ads\/\">https:\/\/www.glassdoor.co.uk\/employers\/blog\/glassdoor-study-job-ads\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Methodology:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selected the &#8216;best&#8217; 15 comments from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/kttvdy\/what_are_subtle_red_flags_at_a_job_interview_that\/?sort=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this Reddit post<\/a>.
