Going through the interview process and was told verbally from talent acquisition at a growing (yet fairly respected) agency that they wanted to send me an official job offer. I asked for the written offer and they said I needed to accept verbally first, and then after receipt of the written offer I needed to e-sign within 3 days max. They mentioned if I didn’t, they had backup candidates in place.

The way she emphasized the turnaround just felt so pushy- I thought the norm was around a week?

Yes, it’s a crazy market right now, but what that recruiter said to you was beyond inappropriate.

So it wasn’t a recruiter- it was straight up the talent person within the agency- do you think it’s indicative of a negative work culture? I imagine the pressure to hire ASAP would be coming from the team trying to make a hire but maybe I’m reading into it too much.

This is beyond weird. You can verbally express serious interest-love the team/the role/excited at the prospect of joining blah blah- and that you’re keen to review their offer as you’d like to make a prompt decision as well. There is no verbal acceptance beyond this.

Sounds like a lot of people are saying yes and then not taking the gig.

Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

Hi Team,

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

How much time usually ICICI bank takes to generate Offer Letter, after all the verification process??

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
