From lies to lack of preparation, poor attitude, and insincerity, you can pick up on signs and collect evidence during an interview that the potential employee is not for you. If you know what you are looking for, employers can successfully spot these job interview red flags - before making a job offer^[1] to a prospective employee.

They're all deal breakers and you'll recognize them most effectively in a well-thought-out, consistent, employee selection process^[2]. You'll benefit, too, if you involve your trained employees^[3] in selecting their prospective coworkers.

And, never underestimate the importance of inviting prospective employees back for a second, and even a third, interview.

After all, who has the most to gain - or lose - from missing these interview red flags for employers^[5].
