I'm in Boston, I'm a hiring manager with 14 direct reports across two teams. I've interviewed a fair amount of people for my position. Have one open now and am in the process. It sounds like the positions you are interviewing for are low caliber that attract those types of people. Never have I had someone come close to any of those things. I've interviewed 20 something interns to late 50's experienced professionals.

Let me put it this way, it is kind of obvious that the OP is insecure and needs this outlet to feel as if he has some power/control.

And I'll say this when it comes to his "rules", when I was moving from NY to Boston I had a few interviews lined up in one day. One of the interviews went really well and I stayed late and then hit traffic on my way to another. It was the very end of the day, well after 5pm and I was very late. I of course called the hiring mgr and told her the situation. She was extremely understanding. When I arrived, everyone but her and another 2 people had left for the day. I of course felt bad for the lateness and it totally played in my favor. It was a great interview and I got the offer, turned it down and then she increased the salary - I ended up turning that down too.

OP is obviously not dealing with professionals and for whatever reason (i.e. insecurity) needs to create his little list of weirdness. You da man OP...all powerful interviewer who everyone is desperate to impress.

Wow you make a lot of assumptions that are simply not true.

I already explained this is not a low level job and what's more, it's a remote based job, which means the candidate has to be extra reliable and professional and trusted to do their work at home mostly un-supervised.

I agree this is all weirdness, but it's certainly not MY weirdness. Thus the point of my post.

So you base your hiring on political beliefs? That's probably why you have such trouble attracting good candidates. What does their political position have to do with working for you?

Plus, who talks about politics during an interview?

Um, no. I base my hiring decisions on someone who is stupid enough to bring up politics during an interview. I don't care what their politics are. If they bring up politics during an interview they are not getting hired.

Since you brought it up, will you decline someone who bad mouths Obama?
