‘Hire me and then I will fix it’: Job candidate finds a bug in company’s data dashboard during the interview, hiring manager demands they provide notes on how to fix the issue

Have you ever interviewed for a job and felt like the hiring process forces you to do work for the employer before you were even hired for the job?

If that happened to you, know that you are not alone. Many companies will use the information candidates provide them, whether they are new ideas, successful assignments, or even general tips. Then, after they got what they needed, they can reject the candidate without feeling a single ounce of remorse.

While it might not be what is happening to the job candidate in the story below, the actions of the recruiter are definitely a little bit suspicious…

This job candidate was on the final round of interviews when they found an issue with the company's data dashboard. The interviewer realized that the candidate could fix the issue and asked them to provide notes after the interview was over. However, without an actual job offer, this request seemed inappropriate to the candidate, who suspects they are just going to use this information and move on to another candidate.
