Can someone kindly connect me with Investment Banking HR/Recruiter/anyone willing to help? My friend interviewed for Goldman Sachs NY. Cleared the HireVue but didn’t get any communication further. It’s been 4 weeks now. Although the referral came from a VO but the division is different. My friend is looking for Investment Banking division. Need to get in touch with someone from investment banking to push the resume. The rolling process is hurting the chances.Thank you Goldman Sachs

I will tell people either end of the previous day or at the start of the current day that I’ll check in with them at a certain time. It’s helps with the micro management aspect because it lays some expectations and boundaries.
I use Trello. They have to adopt it though, and remember to “move” their status.

Kanban is made for this. No way to keep up with a large team at the task level. Agree with SP1 - Teams need to be trained and adopt (not the same thing and can't have the latter without the former). Otherwise, you will become a card slave.
15 min daily standup, preferably not on Slack, at least it always worked worse than a call/meeting for me. The main value is that it facilitates communication within the team, vs keeping it between you and individual team members.
Agree with Director 1. 15 minute daily check in with team, so everyone is accountable to EOD deliverables.
Agree with SPM1. Set the boundaries and expectations. Likely AE doesn’t know how to manage up yet and reacts versus proactive.
I work with different teams that use shared status or calendar/deliverable docs that have check off spots per step and folks just pop in and mark it through a process. That way you only have to check the doc OR ask folks if you don’t see a step marked EOD that should be due for that timing in the process.
End of day status meetings worked for a couple of my teams versus pinging all day
Haven’t had a status/standups meeting longer than 15 min in years. I use the terms interchangeably.
We do a call 2x/day, takes 5-15 mins each. Good time to all get on the same page, identify any issues, etc.
Daily morning status with a live Google doc daily status report, broken out by project. I let everyone make their own updates (doc is preformatted to maintain consistency) and I monitor version history to see who did--or did not--do what when.
My team has a daily 15 minute standup in the AM. Checking in, in the AM vs PM is preferable that way I can ensure folks are working on the right things for the day, vs at the end of the day - when I could learn time was wasted or spent focusing on the wrong thing.
I also send out a daily hotsheet of deliverables planned to go to client for the week - this helps keep everyone on track and organized.
I also use a JIRA Kanban board and have a status doc - these are for me and the team.
It’s a lot but it works!
Daily morning scrums are great for status check-in’s.
I have an EOD email and o also have project chats in Microsoft teams. Hope that helps.
We do a daily standup via slack for our creative & dev teams. And then if I’m not seeing deliverables come thru I will ping the person directly. I also have a slack bot set up to remind people to post. The creative team is always ahead of their bot the dev team is not as on top of it so also have to remind people to post 🙃
What slack bot do you use? :)
Just curious - do you have a retained team or is your team split across multiple projects? I think knowing this bit of info would help in order to determine the best approach/solve.
Thank you! Having a retainer team should help! Thoughts added in a separate reply in this thread - I hope it helps!!
