Summary
In this episode Tony and Steve expose some insights into how to train your managers to interview. What are they interviewing for? The guys debunk the myth that you can only ask the same set of questions in the exact same order to every candidate. Steve sheds light on the number one things candidates complain about, the number one things interviewers complain about, and Tony loses his choo choo. Oh... And that is how long Steve's hair is right now.
