Assuming your hiring for an "extra" seat on the bench, that may have the potential to move into the starting lineup very quickly, would you be inclined to adjust your schedule to be available for after hours (7 p.m. or later) to conduct an interview?

Or would you expect the applicant to make schedule changes on their end to be interviewed during "normal" business hours, give or take 30 minutes to 1 hour?

I'd be willing to meet with someone after hours under the right circumstances, or if I'd planned on being in the office late anyway. I'd obviously prefer to handle it during regular business hours, but for the right candidate, depending on their situation, I'd be reasonably flexible.

If I were the applicant, I would accommodate the hiring official.

It probably depends on how interested in you they are.

I would fricking LOVE IT if someone told me they had to meet me at night or on a weekend because someone didn't want to take time off of their current job, it shows they take their job seriously.

It would really depend on how much potential I think the individual has...if it was someone that I knew from experience was a top performer, I would do whatever it took to get them there...

however, I know that even folks with a stellar resume are hit and miss at best, I wouldn't go out of my way too much for someone that I really didn't know...

Depends on the situation and specifics. However if an applicant seems unwilling to meet you halfway or sacrafice, it would reflect poorly.

this.

in response to the comment "I would fricking love it" if someone wouldn't take off of work for an interview: unless the applicant is in sales, i would interpret someone not taking time off of work to be either motivated by some desire to avoid their current employer knowing that they're interviewing, that they can't keep up with their work to the point of being able to take two hours off, -or- that they are so self-absorbed that they can't be bothered to do an interview like every person who ever interviewed for a job evar.

It depends entirely on their level of experience, availability and race.

If the applicant wants the job they will adjust their schedule for the interview.
