The Real Reason Interviewers Ask This Question. by shutupareyouGOD: 3:23pm On Feb 22, 2017 |
I had always wondered why some interviewers ask the where did you hear about this job question until an experienced HR person told me the truth. He said they asked to know if you heard about the job through a staff of the company i.e referral basis and how strong the referral is. This atimes guarantees you the job. So if you know a staff of any company you are going for an interview do state the person and not say the usual social media or company website answer. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

shutupareyouGOD: 101% wrong... HR professionals go through hell trying to recruit the right fit for their company, now, they go through various means to find the fit, the idea is to use the most effective method to reach the best candidate. At the end of the process, they spool the number of people that got the job or where the right fit or shortlisted and the method they got through.. This informs them and help them concentrate on these channels in subsequent recruitmemt. 108 Likes 1 Share |

rychard:not nigerian recruiters....im am mainly talking of unadvertised jobs that get leaked to the public. Do not be deceived. A subsidiary of NNPC just concluded underground recruitment and do you think this question in this context would mean what you said....when they didnt publish the vacancy. 22 Likes |

rychard:You are wrong The question is usually ask to know those with strong connection. Few years back I didn't get a job from a coy cos of that question. Eight of us made it to the final stage and they couldn't separate us until one of them asked us "How did you get here?" Answers like: My brother works here, Through the Hr, bla bla etc were flowing. When it got to my turn, I said via advert ( it wasn't advertised anyway, just a random CV submission I usually do) and that was the end. Till today, they never get back to me. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Wrong. I attended an interview haven been reffered by the headnof the interview team. He sent me text before it got to my turn never to mention the staff that reffered me because that's where others who came in before me got things wrong most... Best answers depends on the motive of your interviewers. 12 Likes |

shutupareyouGOD: Your can't use the exception as the rule. The main reason why the question is asked is to be sure which of their recruitment channels is providing the best value. And YES Nigerian recruiters actually want to know which of their channels provides the best value. rychard: I strongly agree with you. Note that internal referrals is also a recruitment channel 3 Likes |
