Painful. Cold, bullying, unpleasant, and condescending. You can either try and bring out the best in a candidate...or you can badger someone while interrupting them. Get an HR department and let them do their job. Don't ask someone to interview and then give them the third degree while dissecting their references. It felt like a police interrogation. Oh, and if a candidate doesn't have the background that you seek.... DON'T CONTACT THEM AND WASTE THEIR TIME. She interrupts you constantly, I couldn't complete a sentence. I was shell-shocked by the time I left. It was such a negative experience.
