Author talks about bullshit when he, himself, spews it too.
"Before the interview, have recruiting (or you can) ask the candidate to submit their W2 and fill it in with information that foots to their W2 — the previous years payroll — including commission in the last X-years they’ve been a sales rep."
There is zero chance a seasoned job seeker who knows what they are doing regardless of the position would give out this kind of information.
Interviewing is like playing poker. Why the hell would I show you my cards before placing a bet. It's my job to negotiate the most and it's the person doing the hiring's job to do their homework to figure out what the market bares and how much they can afford or are willing to spend on someone.
I came away reading that article that the author is some pompous young buck who thinks he knows how to recruit.
kids these days... yea, maybe I'm old fashion too but this seems more like a lack of plain old simple common sense.
