Hi everyone! Curious to find out more about this: Would you be more likely to apply for a job if the hiring process was clear from the beginning? For example if it was stated in the job description? And why?

Absolutely. This way I’d know my timeline and what to expect over the period of the hiring process. To be in the dark and constantly waiting without knowing irritates me. I always ask this question in an interview…what’s your hiring process and timeline looks like? What’s happens throughout the process? Having all that listed would be super helpful.

Yes! It would be great so prospects can manage current job commitments, family obligations, physical/emotional stamina (because interviews are physically and mentally exhausting), etc. I’d like to know salary upfront so if it doesn’t meet personal needs, then I can pass without wasting anyone else’s time. For employers, I feel it would get them better candidates who want to go through that process and are prepared for that process.

For me, I’ve been in final rounds and then have been called for an additional interview only to go in feeling like I either don’t know what more to say or annoyed that I was told the prior round was final and now have to jump through another hoop. So your 🚩 sense goes off. It wastes everyone’s time and at that point you may not want to work for that company anymore.

Also because of discrimination laws most employers post jobs and interview candidates knowing they are already hiring an internal candidate. It really is a huge waste of time.

Anything more than 3 rounds is plain inefficient and ridiculous. The employer needs to get their act together.

I wouldn’t even bother with that BS

Heck yeah and if the salary range was posted, I might just apply to experience the process lol

Yes absolutely!
It's irritating to prepare and then just wait for an answer or a next step or to be ghosted without a second thought.

Yes please. I would much prefer applying for a job listing with a clear timeline, # rounds of interviews, and salary range

like

Definitely. I want to have the following during am interview.
1. Clear job description. In many occasions the JD is so over the plane, that it doesn't match the experience needed. As in, the JD may say they require an entry level position, but with 5+ years of experience. Clearly state on the JD the responsibilities, and match those with what the industry and YoE means for it.
2. Is it remote, in office, or hybrid. This is a must in today's market. And if it is a hybrid, is it flexible and you get to choose, or everyone takes the same days.
3. Tell us more about the teams that is hiring, what pains is the candidate is going to solve. When I see a general "skills and requirements" it almost always means I need to search for information what it means. In other words, don't just provide a description that match what is done in your company, but translate it to general requirements. That way candidates will more likely find the job interesting.
4. Salary range on the JD is a must. I don't care that your state doesn't require it, if it's not there (and if you cannot provide it on the first interaction with me) I will skip it. It's your loss really. There are thousands of other roles out there. Don't ask for my range, don't ask for my pay history, provide it upfront. When an employer is upfront with this is shows that they address genuine (of course if they require by life that's different). But when recruiters reach out to me, one of my first questions is what is the salary range. If I get evasive maneuvers, that's a red flag for me, and I won't even offer my time if I am not getting a range.
4.2 also including other bonuses and TC compensation is helpful to attract talent. I would love to know what is the max bonuses, RSUs, etc.

like

This exactly!

Yes, I know what to expect up front and know whether I want to commit to the process beforehand. Too many companies now have a very complex and drawn out process, even for low level roles, keep you in the dark, and have you waiting to hear back too long in my opinion.

like

I would be more likely to apply IF the process is efficient and reasonable. If you tell me up front that it’s 5 rounds of interviews, a presentation, and a case study, I appreciate the transparency but I’m not applying.

like

Yes. The company I interviewed for actually was very transparent across their hiring practice, and they also had a whole blog dedicated to it on their site. I knew what I was getting into and it made it much easier

Yes!!! There are definitely times I passed on a job because the process was too long. Some would say you’ll have to do a test, then interview, maybe another test, background check and then you’ll be out on a eligibility list for 2 years. So I’ll will do all of this just to be put on a list. HARD PASS

like

For sure employers need to start putting a salary range in the descriptions. I always just expect the timeline during the hiring process to take weeks to months.

like

I’m always surprised how few listings still include it. That and in-office vs remote are critical for both parties and keeping it secret until the interview is a waste of everyone’s time. Wasted time is wasted money. It’s just silly.

I would say it’s a positive, but short answer is no. Reason is that the positions that I want are pretty narrow and I’d apply to them even if the hiring process was not stated. Meaning if it’s long and drawn out and vague, I’m still there

Yes definitely! Would also help with knowing when I should expect to hear back after interviews/easing those worries

like

Yes so I can avoid stupidly long and time consuming ones

Yes, it absolutely makes a difference to have that information up front.

Yes and I’d be doubly more likely to apply if the initial screening was with someone who knows something about the job and org other than a recruiter.

How would you ask to transfer to another office within your firm?

I lateraled from one firm in city A to another firm city B. During the interview process, I made a big deal about how I badly I wanted to be in B, despite only being barred in A. They hired me, paid for my bar courses, the works.

Now I find myself in a position where I need to leave B due to personal issues. Thinking of going to DCso I can just waive in.

It's been less than a year since I've joined; is it too soon to ask this?

I recently started my own firm. We primarily do ID. I want to give our attorneys flexibility and a work life balance so I’m considering giving them a higher % of every hour billed/collected as the basis of their compensation rather than a set salary. This would eliminate any billing pressure and give attorneys the freedom to decide how much they want to work/earn. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be fair and/or a good idea?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
