Mutual Fit and Expectations Questions

Covers two way evaluation and clarifying expectations between candidate and employer. Topics include asking about the hiring manager's leadership style, reporting relationships, resources and support, performance metrics and what success looks like in the first six to twelve months, career progression and retention intent, compensation and deal breakers, and the candidate's working preferences or constraints. Effective preparation includes deciding which questions to ask, how to surface reservations constructively, and how to articulate what the candidate needs to thrive while confirming alignment on scope and timelines.
