The first half of the interview was typical, with questions about my experience, what I liked / didn't like about my role, etc. However, the questions asked towards the end were quite concerning. I was asked personal questions about my family, specifically what my parents did for a living and whether I had any siblings. It's worth noting that such questioning is not just uncomfortable—it's also illegal. With my background in Talent Acquisition, I'm well aware that delving into candidates' personal lives is strictly off-limits and professionally inappropriate.
