Troublesome Interviews: An Alternative Result of Aerials Departments Campaign for Shortcuts and Position Assistance on Sunday

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a campaign for shortcuts and position assistance on Sunday on the interview process within the aerials department. The study used a qualitative approach, with semi-structured interviews conducted with both interviewers and interviewees. The findings revealed that the campaign had unintended consequences on the interview process, leading to troublesome interviews. Interviewers reported feeling pressured to offer shortcuts and position assistance to candidates, even if they were not the most qualified for the job. This resulted in a lack of confidence in the hiring process and a perception of unfairness among other candidates. Additionally, interviewees reported feeling uncomfortable with the pressure to accept shortcuts and position assistance, as it compromised their integrity and made them feel like they were not being hired based on merit. The study concludes with recommendations for aerials departments to reconsider their campaign for shortcuts and position assistance on Sunday and to prioritize a fair and unbiased hiring process.
