I heard back from a recruiter from a local recruiting company and I was wondering why interviewees couldn’t be given a survey about the company they interview at as part of the whole hiring process? As long as individuals are told not to make derogatory or defaming comments abount the prospective company or interviewer, I think the survey could help recruiters to have feedback about each work environment and what culture works best for various personalities.

The one company I interviewed at recently had the right hours for me, but I wasn’t given the opportunity to hang my coat up and since my coat was bulky, I ended up sitting in front of the interviewer with my coat on. It was uncomfortable, but to me it seemed like a very “sterile” atmosphere. I was glad for the opportunity to interview, but I found out people ask if a person has the necessary energy to do certain jobs. Is referring to energy a way of discriminating against age or no?
