I will do it before or after the interview, depending on the situation.

It’s usually better to get permission in writing, but a recording of someone answering a question holds a lot of weight. Lawyers like paperwork and a signature says a lot in our culture.

Some top reasons you ask for permission…

1) it makes it clear what you are asking for
2) it gives the two parties a chance to communicate
3) it saves the party who’s recording a ton of work if the party recorded changes their mind

Great post!
