Has anyone been sent an NDA prior to even a phone screening with a company?? In all my years I’ve never had to sign an NDA just for an interview, mind you this was the first thing they sent. Should I be as weirded out as I am or this is just normal? 😂

I’ve signed NDA’s for interviews. For stealth/early startups, they usually require the NDA before the screen

Yes this is very normal. Just two quick points on this. The NDA should not extend past 3 or 5 years, there’s some reasonable maximum allowed not sure what that is. The second thing is, if you have an inclining to start your own version of whatever your interviewing for, just know even if rejected you can’t go start a version of that on your own. For example, if your interviewing a high-tech portable solar technology company and you thinking maybe you wanna launch one on your own in the next few months if nothing works out, your gonna be in a tough spot

I have not seen this myself. However, I would much prefer one be offered than have the recruiter and interviewer refuse to answer questions about the position and the business for confidentiality reasons. Few things are as disappointing as being told, "We can't tell you about [the thing you just asked] until you're on board."

I’ve signed several NDAs, mostly when applying to federal jobs or government contracting.

Does the job description say - "going on a date with a celebrity"?. You haven't signed the NDA yet, you can spill the beans ...lol.

Never had to but it makes sense. I know I've learned maybe a bit too much from competing companies just by interviewing and them not even being that interested in me. Someone could totally interview for a position just for reconnaissance reasons.

How enforceable are these NDAs? I can’t imagine an interview process would reveal much insider info

Some big companies don’t want you to share their interview questions, and write that in the NDA

Yes I have but not for first round, second or third round

I’ve also spent time on several jobs where the description didn’t match the value. They ended up being 20% less than others in the industry.

Waiting to hear back from an application. Not on waitlist or anything but decision should be available in 2-3 weeks. I’ve already interviewed. Just found out that a family friend of mine was on the board for said school.

Is it worth asking for a rec letter to send as an “update” even though the decision is so soon? Guessing the answer would be “won’t hurt” but I was also planning on leveraging this as an opportunity for a potential re-application to show “improvement”

Any other HR Professionals tired of not being consider for a role just because you haven’t worked in a tech start up? Honestly, I don’t know if I will be a fit or not (nor do they) if they say no even before the hiring manager has spoken to me. There are so many HR openings in tech right now so saying no people that haven’t worked in tech doesn’t make sense to me. I know my worth so I have moved on when this happens, just curious to see if others have seen the same.
