I got a new job that I start in a few weeks. Found out a guy at my current company is interviewing at my new company. He is not good & is lying about his qualifications. Do I let my new company know?

Only if they ask your opinion. And even then, tread carefully. They don’t know you well enough to yay or nay based on what you say, so you’ll tarnish your new sheen with negativity. No matter how legit it is

If they ask, I’d politely say something about not being comfortable providing info. It alludes to your opinion without forcing you to say anything outright. Stay classy 😉 And congrats on the new job!

Yea, I'm definitely in the don't say anything boat. I just know how toxic he is and don't want to work with him again. Hopefully they'll see through his shit during interviews.

SVP is correct. If they ask, say you're not comfortable speaking about him. Say it until they understand (it'll take 2 times). Keep it cute

I think if they ask you can say something - no need to be coy. Just keep it professional: “I didn’t have a great time working with him.” You don’t need to get into nasty detail. However if they ask you and you don’t warn them of a bad guy, and he gets hired and puts them through hell, they’ll question why you didn’t warn them in the first place. However if they don’t ask at all, stay out of it. You’re not on the hiring team so it’s not your business.

I would say something if there was a person in the company that already knew me, but not if I was brand new to that group of people. If I was new to everyone, I would only say something if asked. If I knew someone already working there, I would warn the person I knew of my own experiences working with this person, especially if they are toxic to work with. I have done this before, and I always frame it to let the person I am telling decide if they feel compelled to act on that information, so they don't perceive it as just being petty. This approach works better if you don't complain about people in general though...

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC.

I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?
