Well said! I just sent an outstanding candidate to a start-up for a first round interview.

His feedback? The place “had no vibe”  and he could practically hear crickets because it was so quiet.  Not exactly a great impression.

Fortunately, the candidate is intrigued enough by the opportunity that he will be heading back for next rounds.   I will be sure to mention the importance of creating a great corporate culture to my client.   Don’t want anyone walking away for the wrong (and fixable) reason!
