Hi,,
Good topic to discuss on!!
For the candidate , It s the interviewer who represents the behavior, style, a of the company.
Candidate has a strong perception that the company would be as good / bad as the interviewer himself.
The above holds true for all recruiters also.
From the first point of your interaction with the candidates , you are helping them frame a mental frame work on how the company works.
The recruiters are some what similar to Air Hostess / Ground crew
Its how these crews treat you as a passenger, moulds your opinion about the airline!!
Keep Learning !!!

Absolutely true! I faced a smiliar situtation where the behaviour of HR-head affected my decision and i refused the offer. I belive the interviewer is the face of the organization to the candidates and onc can have an idea about the company culture from dat.

According to me interviewer is the first interface between the company and the job seeker. The behaviour and attitude of interviewer reflects the principles of the company.
Myself, an interviewer in MSSL, strongly support the notion that good behaviour of interviewer is essential for company's progress since sometimes a good candidate could be deferred from joining the organization just due to none gratification of the various questions arising in his mind.

Yes. The interviewer's behaviour does play vital role in the part of the candidate to take a decision about accepting the offer. The interviewer represents the organisation and if he behaves in an odd way then the job seeker thinks twice about the job.
i can share something out of my own experience...i have had the opportunity to learn recruitment under a boss who believes in keeping the mood light during interviews...apart from making a candidate feel at ease and thus giving us the best he can offer, it also helps in branding as candidate feels the organization has a positive work culture...
Hi!
I don't think that unexpected/ bad behaviour affects the interviewee's decision to join a company..in case of interviews, what happens is ' something that ends well..'. If the interviewee is selected, he would not think much about what happened in the interview..if some one of the panel of interviewers has grilled him/ her more during interview, he/she may form an opinion about that particular interviewer, but, surely not form an opinion about the company. If the candidate has a good job and still looking for some better opportunity, then he may take such a decision of not join the company..but otherwise, one who needs a job, would by hook or crook try to be his best in the interview, inspite of whatever the attitude of interviewers.
This is what I feel.

Dear All,
This was an interesting post to read through, but there is one aspect which most of us have completely ignored.
The particular kind of behavior described can be viewed in two ways:
1. The interviewer is not apt for conducting interviews.
2. The organization uses the stress interview technique wherein the idea is to put the interviewee under undue stress just to adjudge his reaction and his behavior.
Therefore, I feel, not taking up an offer purely on the basis of the interviewer's attitude is not a very wise decision. There are other criterion which influence this decision. These include:
1. Growth potential of the organization
2. Whether the job fits into an individual's career growth and development path
3. Compensation and Benefits offered by the organization
4. Work timings and location
Lets face it, we all encounter difficult people at the work place, be it internal customers or external customers. The principle idea behind conducting interviews in a way that they create some level of stress is to check whether the potential employee is capable of dealing with such a situation without losing his cool or appearing hassled.
These kind of interviews should not come across as a shock to majority of us who went through GD/PI's for entrance to management schools, because these are the kinds of interviews most well reputed management schools use.

Shilpa,
This is an important topic to be discussed largely, because industries plays double standards while recruiting manpower at any place.
Behavior of an interviewer is very important for any interviewee, it is not only a question of career but it marks the self-respect and dignity of any individual.
If an interviewee is made comfortable at the time of interview, it is easy to understand the quality of that individual and at the same time it shows the courtesy of interviewer.
And if things turn different or otherway it makes very difficult for both the interviewer and interviewee.
