A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Yeah. I have been in a poition doing the hiring for over 10 years now and so far never ever needed more than three contacts with a possible employee. (Beide administrative things, like finding a dafe for an interview,etc.)

First contact Is via phone(or mail or a combination of both)if I find anything in the application that leaves questions open or is inconsistent.

Second contact is the actual interview. Nowadays m company is so small that we can do them "with the team", back in an earlier job that was not possible - so part three was either an long interview with the team or (preferably but not always possible) a day working with the team. (Whicu is of course payed at the same rate everyone gets)

But in my country we have to reimburse peoples travel costs and "trial tasks" during interviews would need to be payed as well.
