When a candidate asks for different working hours
A request for different hours is an opportunity to check whether the role genuinely needs the original schedule.
Define the requirement
A request for different hours is an opportunity to check whether the role genuinely needs the original schedule. Identify fixed duties and flexible tasks. Do not agree to a reduced schedule while quietly retaining the same workload if it no longer fits.
Put it into practice
Map the proposed hours against the day's essential work. Consider shifting tasks or arranging separate cover, then confirm any changes in the brief. If the role cannot accommodate the request, explain the practical conflict clearly and continue shortlisting.
