Why Team Interviews Drive Away Top Candidates

Episode 48 of Hiring & Firing with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising hiring failure — the team interview. They examine a 2025 study of 1,200 candidates showing that 62% of top performers declined offers after multi-panel interviews, citing wasted time and groupthink pressure. The hosts break down why unstructured team interviews backfire, how one mid-sized tech company cut its interview loop from 6 hours to 90 minutes and boosted acceptance rates by 34%, and a simple alternative that gives candidates a better experience while keeping team input.
