Recruiters report decline in candidate interview preparation

Recruiters are observing a decline in candidate preparation during job interviews. Adriane Schwager, CEO and co-founder of GrowthAssistant, noted in an interview with CNBC that many applicants, including experienced professionals, fail to research the company's core business and values before meeting with hiring managers.

Experts suggest that candidates often treat the selection process as a performance rather than demonstrating genuine interest. To improve success rates, candidates are advised to perform basic due diligence to understand what the interviewing company actually does, ensuring their profile aligns with the organization's mission.
