Discussing a previous short employment period
A short role on a candidate's history needs context rather than an automatic negative judgement.
Define the requirement
A short role on a candidate's history needs context rather than an automatic negative judgement. Ask neutral questions about the work and reason for leaving. Respect privacy and avoid assuming misconduct from duration alone.
Put it into practice
Compare the explanation with the responsibilities and references available, using permission-based checks where appropriate. Focus on whether the candidate can meet your role's needs. Record uncertainty honestly and avoid requesting irrelevant personal details to fill every gap.
