I've applied for a job with a startup - young but, judging by the number of job ads published, quickly growing company.
They invited me to an interview, paid me a flight in first-class, a really good hotel and booked me a chauffeur. I'm not kidding.
That's absolutely untypical in my country, especially given that I'm not applying for a job on a C-level. I've applied with big wealthy corporations before but even they weren't so generous, they weren't even close. My skills are ok I guess, but it's not like I'm the only person in the country having them.
What are the reasons for this generosity? I can think of the following explanations:
What point does a company's generosity during the interview process have?
// Update //
I attended the interview and got an offer. It was one of these we-are-all-one-family-companies that expect you to have no life outside of work and identify with the company 100% - making company seem generous can help with that I guess. They stressed that they get free coffee and some (tiny) benefits other companies don't cover, but... The company expected their employees to work 12+ h/ day (which isn't even legal in my country)! And the salary offered didn't reflect the work times at all. Basically, it was what I expected it to be.
The usual reason for being generous during a job interview is simply to leave the interviewee with a good impression. Job interviews go both ways, after all.
If they offer you the job: "wow, these guys didn't just offer me a job but sorted out my travel too, that's amazing! I like these guys - I'm definitely going to accept!"
If they don't offer you the job: "aw, shucks, these guys didn't offer me the job... but I'm going to tell all my friends how generous they were! My friends might then apply there too!"
It's simply good business for a company to treat interviewees well and leave them with a positive impression. And (unless your cynicism level is even higher than mine, which is normally pretty high) there's no reason to think it's in any way nefarious... you seem to be assuming their generosity is either based on idiocy or deception. Maybe they just treat their staff (and potential staff) well? Such companies are rumoured to exist...
