If you ever interview job candidates, you need a Non- Negotiable List. This list is used during the interview process to help identify "warning signs" that candidates aren't a good fit for the organization or position.

When a candidate shows one of these warning signs, he or she is no longer considered as a potential hire.

We used a Non-Negotiable List quite effectively at my old company, curbing our turnover by over 90% in one year.

The genesis of the list were the many occasions where on the heels of a new employee not working out (fired or resigned), one of the interviewers would say something like "You know,when I interviewed him/her I noticed he/she... (Fill in the blank with any of the items on the list below.) When it comes to interviewing, trust your gut.

This list will help you start creating a list of your own, using warning signs for behaviours that clash with your company culture.

1. Could not look me in the eye.

2. Could not answer the most rudimentary questions succinctly and directly, but instead provided a wandering and vague "answer."

3. Did not show up to the interview on time and appeared not to have a legitimate excuse.

4. During the first conversation/interview, asked about how many vacation days or work breaks were allowed.

5. Did not know what the organization does and/or what my job function was.

6. Bad-mouthed their current or last boss/employer.

7. Exhibited a high degree of drama when discussing their current or past employment experiences.

This would be weird for anyone to do if they want a legitimate job. I can't image how awkward their behavior is in that professional kind of setting.

unfortunately people still do this some are not informed of the proper work ethics for example if the interviewer asks "do you have any questions for me" one might ask do you observe holidays at this company in that case do you think its wrong when they do so?

Zilch.
