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?

I do one at a time. It comes down to gut feel and skill for the job.

That basically happened to me. And no, we didn’t give multiple offers at the same time, but we did interview multiple candidates at the same time. I hired contractors in the meantime and shifted workload among the existing team,

Our team generally lays out specific, prioritized hard and soft skills we are looking for then tailor the interviews around those. We use behavioral questions primarily to try and get a real sense of problems each candidate has solved. Once we have someone who meets most of them well we make an offer immediately. Even if we are aggressively looking, we try to to fill a position just because we really need to fill it. A bad fit is much more detrimental to the team than an empty spot. If needed, it’s my job to set expectations on the impact of reduced capacity with stakeholders

This! Stakeholders need to understand that the team isn’t the same for a while. The process takes as long as it takes. Better to wait for the right fit.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9
