I posted an opening on my team on my LinkedIn. I’m not the hiring manager. Someone I do not know reached out and said she knew someone for the job. She passed along the resume. I asked if she applied online and said I was happy to put her resume in front of the hiring manager. The person let me know her contact had not applied, and had questions. So, I should emailed her. Is this normal? I was a little out off because if I was the candidate I would reach out myself.

Yeah I would think they’d reach out to you with their questions vs the other way around.

Nah. If they have questions they can be an adult and reach out themselves, or you can connect them to the hiring manager to help answer their questions. You are not recruiting them, this is not your problem.

Expecting an offer this week or early next week, but want to know when you start negotiating the salary? When you receive the call from the company or wait until receiving the formal offer letter? And how should the negotiation start? Through phone calls or emails? Didn’t use recruiter for this position, so I don’t know what is the process here.
