I interviewed with 2 agencies. Agency A gave me an offer but from I am waiting for an offer from agency B which I am more interested in. How do I approach/follow up with agency B?

Sounds like the truth is the best option here. “Hey Agency B. I’m really excited about the opportunity, but I just got an offer. If you guys are interested, you’re my top choice. But I’ll have to make a decision soon.”

I say this assuming you’d legitimately be interested in agency A if B didn’t work out.

Ask A for time to look the offer over then tell B about the offer and that should speed things up if they are gonna give you an offer

You mention to company B that you have an offer from Company A but your top choice is them. Tell them your deadline to respond to Company A. I did this and kept it simple because they know what that means. For me, Company B responded asap with their offer.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
