I've notified my employer about my resignation, and it's been one month already, but they still haven't managed to hire an employee that fits my current position. I'm the only developer in this company and my current manager doesn't know how to develop websites (and thus not how to figure out if a potential employee will be able to do the job).

My problem is that they are asking me to interview the applicants that they think fits the position, even after I've left the company. I have asked for the times/dates for interview and what they would pay for the service. HR replied that if possible I'll just go in the company every time they want me to conduct an interview. As regards the salary, they can't guaranteed that it is paid.

Looking at the story I'm sure that it is not right! That's why I'm here to ask about what is the best thing to do in that situation?

You are under absolutely no obligations to this company, since you are no longer employed there.

It's rather odd that they didn't seek your help during your 1-month notice period. And it's very odd that they expect you to help them for free now.

If you want to help them in their interviewing as a favor, then do so.

But if you don't want to help, just say no and be done with it. You don't need to give them an excuse or offer a reason why. If you want to be a bit more diplomatic, you could say something like:

Sorry, I'm concentrating on my new job now. I won't have time to help you interview your applicants. Good luck.

It's completely reasonable to be paid for your time. If you would want to help them only if paid to do so, then be direct. Something like:

I would be happy to help you out, but I think it's only fair that I be paid for my time. I'm sure you can understand that. If you are still interested, let's talk about what kind of compensation would be reasonable.

Make sure your agreement is in writing (write it up yourself and get them to sign it, if necessary).
