Has anyone been ‘interviewed’ by their friend? My first call is with a senior manager and the second one is my boy. Don’t think I should say anything..

Not your problem. It’s up to your bro to disclose if he feels like it

Yup! Glad we see eye to eye 😊

Just say “we’ve met”.... I interview friends and friends of friends all the time - known quantities are great.

Definitely use it to your advantage

Id mention it. They would probably respect the disclosure and find that you have integrity. And if you're the best person for the job, then it won't matter who interviews you!

I’m with KPMG1. I’d mention it to the recruiter - just want to be sure you know I have existing friendship with Bro in case it creates a conflict for you. I’m comfortable with Bro interviewing me if it’s not a conflict.

Yeah, is there any way he can be totally objective?

Would others that are interviewing against you believe so? Is it ethical?

Would you want a competitor to have their uncle as the interviewer? Do you think they can be objective?

If you answered no to any of those questions, you should tell them about the close relationship.
Good luck 🍀

I wouldn’t necessarily call him out as your boy but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with knowing each other. Even if it’s not true you don’t want to create a perception of bias when it comes times to make a decision.

It’s explicitly prohibited for us. If someone we know is on our interview slate, we raise it immediately and shuffle schedules.

One could argue your Bro will have the best evaluation of you as they have essentially had a long term interview through the course of your relationship. If you were a bad person, they wouldn’t be your bro, maybe they would even be your nemesis/dislike you. If they disliked you, are you allowed to disclose that to change the interviewer to get rid of bias similar to how others are saying you should disclose as they are biased to like you? It’s who you know, not what you know. Take advantage

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
