Atlease going by what happened to me a few days ago.
A friend recommended a candidate for a vacancy in my company. I try to make my interviews as informal and comfortable as possible. I find that potential employees tend to share more than they actually want to.
Anyways, i found out that my friend had also interviewed this particular guy. I asked him how he thought he had done there and he was confident that he impressed my friend.
Super. When I asked him if we were both to select him, who would he choose to work for. He said the other company. Why? Because they were a "LIMITED" company where as I was only a "Private Limited" one. Never mind that in actual business terms I am bigger. This guys choice of employer was based solely on the name!
So I guess there is more to a name than we actually imagine.
And, yeah, I did get to speak to my friend about the interview and needless to say neither of us chose this guy.
