Candidates Come First

In rare instances we have found ourselves in the position where we can nudge a candidate in one direction over another. In these instances, it is integral to take your corporate hat off and help nudge the candidate in the direction that truly helps the candidate. It is always best when decisions lead to a win-win for both the candidate and company, but in some instances this is not the case and mentors must side with the candidate. Why is this important? As a mentor candidates look up to you and value your input, so mentors must be extra careful to maintain honesty and focus on the successful outcome of each candidate above and beyond everything!
