As a Netflix Recruiter, you will engage key business partners in order to understand the needs of a given hiring team. How do you react when you and a key business partner disagree on the quality of a candidate, and it sets your search back?

Netflix has 10 values listed on its careers website. These include:

- Judgment
- Communication
- Curiosity
- Courage
- Passion
- Selflessness
- Innovation
- Inclusion
- Integrity
- Impact

Each of these value points includes 3-5 bullet points of details, so be sure to do your research on the Netflix careers page before your interview.

Each time you shortlist and present a candidate to stakeholders and decision-makers, you risk that they will say 'no' to your candidate. There will be times when you think you've hit the jackpot and found the best candidate possible for the role. You will excitedly present the candidate to your leadership team, and unfortunately, the hiring managers don't feel the magic.

Discuss in detail how you react when disappointments arise. Then, focus the bulk of your response on the action steps you take to pick yourself back up and move forward.

"In my current role as Recruiter for Company XYZ, if a leader disagrees with the quality of my shortlisted candidate, I remove emotion from the equation and come back to them with factual data from my talent marketplace analytics and other forms of benchmarking. There are times that the hiring managers need deeper data regarding the talent acquisition landscape. When leaders can look at the full picture, they are much more likely to take an open-minded approach. This approach often clears up disagreements on candidate quality. Sometimes a disagreement on the quality of a candidate means that I go back to my search and find a couple of new candidates for consideration. Other times, this situation means that we collectively compromise by interviewing the candidate one more time in an attempt to uncover the core reason the leader feels hesitant to make a job offer. I believe that it's in the company's best interest that all stakeholders agree on a candidate before a job offer is made. As a Netflix Recruiter, if I encounter a situation like this, I will communicate boldly by pushing back when necessary; however, I will also move fast to course-correct to ensure that we do not miss out on opportunities to capture an even better candidate."
