And that is where we, as third party search professionals can guide them through this maze with an early heads up about this critical part of their career search process. My plan is to share this article with all candidates right before or after I interview them, I just haven't decided which just yet. They need to have this information so they can proceed intelligently though what can be a potential landmine field. Marianne, I agree!
