In which phase or part of the hiring process should applicants have the best understanding of the ethical foundation of the organization? Who has responsibility for that understanding? Explain your answer.

It is important for recruiters to explain ethical foundation of their organization to potential candidates during the first round of interviews. This could be when the applicant is booked for the first phone screening. This way, the applicant is able to make a decision whether to continue considering working there and the employer can save time if the potential candidate is not interested anymore.
