How would you handle a candidate who requests to bring her infant to a job interview, and how would you evaluate her?

I’d focus on being flexible with the logistics, like offering a virtual interview or rescheduling, and keep the evaluation strictly about her skills and experience. The infant shouldn’t factor into the assessment at all.

Cancel the interview

Make it a virtual interview

Virtual interview, if possible, on-site would not be an option. Before that, I’d offer a reschedule or flexible time. Above all else, your agreeing to do that should have zero impact on the candidate when they have their infant there.

Not sure

That's a bit of a strange one. I would be worried about what they'll be doing for childcare for the job. It's not easy for parents though, and I'd be willing to accomodate it for the first interview.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
