I am sure you guys have interviewed candidates before, but I think we forget sometimes that
- Interview does not equal job offer
- Sometimes in the interview, it's apparent that the candidate is not a fit. Now as the interviewer, you do not go announce to everyone that person was not a fit. You just move on. In our case (Coach search), we have social media automatically jumping to conclusions that the candidate turned us down
- It's better to take your time and get it right.
- You don't interview based on order of priority. This is usually by everyone's schedule.
Things ended well. I hope our fans can also learn from this. There was no reason to declare that the sky was falling.
