does your organization require to have more than 1 final candidate (for data points, fairness, or compensation approval) ?

We always bring it down to two final candidates as well. We have had people take other offers so it is good to have two candidates. Then you have a back up if the top candidate doesn't take the offer.

Yeah, we always have to bring it down to 2 final candidates so that we can make the best decision for the team based on budget and current needs. Seems pretty standard to me.

You know what? Yes they do. I hate it. Because I know which candidate I want, but I have to show them two others.

Such a common blocker. I always ask hiring teams what would make someone immediately hirable in kickoffs. Then remind them when we find that person.
Also asking what about someone would make them a better hire and if it’s easily teachable.
Often times we now hire when we know we found someone good - no such thing as perfect

Yes in larger regulated company's the red tape is sometimes a total waste of time for the manager, but more importantly to the external candidates if they decide to hire internally they still post externally for 7 days. It gives a false hope of a job being available but truly may already have a pool of internal candidates. Keep your head up and keep networking! Most postions now require knowing someone!

Currently unemployed, and looking at a job offer of around 62k base, small firm. Not my preferred choice but this is the first offer in three months. They also took a month to get me the offer with corona and internal restructuring. Two questions:
1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?
