[quote=Anonymous]This was only ever sort of uncomfortable during our first year. Since then, I always tell our candidates that we are looking for a one year assignment so we never have to deal with the 'does she want to extend?' uncomfortable issue.

Come January, I let AP know that I will be starting my search and I ask if she would be ok if I share her contact details with our top candidates. All have been fine with it. Some have expressed how it felt a bit 'strange' to be on the 'other side', since they went through the exact process the year before. They have all taken to heart interviewing candidates.

Each AP is different and I try to be mindful of their feelings when discussing progress of our search. Our computer is in an open space in our home, so I will try to schedule Skype time when AP is out, and I will also be sensitive about discussing candidates in front of AP. As the process evolves and we get closer to matching, AP would typical have already emailed and possibly skyped with the front-running candidates, and it's usually all ok from there on.[/quote]
