If you are in the interview panel, is there a negative impact of the laid off candidate.
Software Engineers only please. Interview panelists and hiring managers only please.

It only impacts the paycheck 😋

Interview - I don't care if they are laid off. But but but, I can't give an average candidate with 1yoe 20 lpa. You were laid off because your company went bankrupt. Understand that too as a candidate.

It depends on whether it’s an HR interview or a tech interview. I have been on tech interview panel many times & I neither undermine a candidate’s ability for the reason he’s being laid off, nor I premeditate the skills of a candidate that boasts a multitude of certificates “XYZ certified developer, etc”.

Definitely not, we have been recently interviewing a lot of laid off candidates and we do not consider them as bad at all.

They definitely take advantage of it during negotiation and try to low ball laid off candidates

Nope.
