Should I be obligated to conduct interviews when there's no compensation for the additional responsibility?
My company has recently asked me to participate in technical interviews for new candidates. This would involve approximately 3-4 hours per week screening and interviewing candidates. While I understand this is valuable for the company, this responsibility wasn't part of my original job description, and I'm not being offered any additional compensation or bonus for taking it on (my salary has stayed the same for 8 years basically when I joined). I'm concerned that this extra workload will impact my primary responsibilities and professional development time. When I raised the compensation question with my HR head, they never responded. Is it standard practice for companies to expect engineers to conduct interviews without additional compensation? Basically why should I do something if I am not being fairly recognized/compensated for it?
