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!

Folks, very new to the EE process. Most recent draw cutoff was 75 points but there are still folks with higher scores in the pool. Does that mean candidates are picked based on time in the pool? A CRS100 could be picked over a CRS300 if the CRS100 has been in longer?

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

So, recently got phished while staying at Marriott Peachtree Hotel in ATL. Received call to my room at 12:30 am from the “GM” who knew my name (and room number obviously). Didn’t feel right and the night manager said the GM called and told him I would likely come down upset. He then said the issue was resolved and dismissed the situation. Sure enough, it was fraud and charges began to come in. I received 105k points but feel it should be more. What amount of points have you received and what’s?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
