Hiring managers - how many offers do you usually send out for a position (1) you're hiring for? How do you know when a candidate is "the one" to send an offer to?

It helps to know what are “must haves” vs “nice to haves”. We also have candidates go through a panel interview. Usually the panel will reinforce my gut instinct, but sometimes they will see a red flag that I didn’t.

Sorry, just re-read the question and realized that I didn’t answer it fully! We usually only make one offer. Our applicant pools are usually very small (niche, technical skills), so we’re pretty limited to begin with.

Typically aim for one offer per position (sometimes offers are rejected which would change that). I don’t think of a candidate being “the one” so much as being someone who I believe can thrive and grow into the role.

We work to submit at least 5 candidates who "for the bill" like that any one of them would be a good choice. Final rounds narrow to top 2-3 and at that point it's less about experience and more about the skills on your existing team and which candidate, if any, would fill in a gap while also fitting the bill and that this is a job that serves them too.

After all that if they pass or drop off on an offer in some instances we go to our runner up but most of the time we start over. The past year and a half it's been like 2-3 offers per position to get a candidate closed.

I’ve been struggling with this, in part because it happened to me in a previous role & I’m trying to leave it behind. I was managing a diverse team which had two white males on it. I recall during my first few wks, whenever I stated something in a meeting 1 of the white males would re-explain what I just said really rapidly, almost in a manic sort of way.The other white male would get really sassy (not how else to describe this) with me at times. Needed to get that out. Thanks for reading

Apparently they’re waiting for the thumbs up from leadership. It all seems a bit nebulous and I feel like I’m being stringed along. Can anyone in this practice offer any help or insight? EY

I’m in talks with management about being a candidate for a new position, Project Manager. This would be a promotion for me; however, a member of my team indicated the company may not want to increase compensation for this role even though I would have more responsibilities. It was even stated that “They may even want to fire people who asked for more money.” I am staggered. Do you advice for me? Should I look elsewhere? Any referrals? Any insight/assistance appreciated.
