In a final round set up via recruiter. Recruiter asked me directly if I would take the job if offered & I gave a PC answer (not sure if I want job). Would it ruin my recruiter relationship to decline?

What is a pc answer

like

Your answer is pretty logical. Everyone should evaluate the offer that they get. I'm more curious to know what PC stands for.

I'm sure OP just meant professional instead of PC (which aren't MECE)

Lmao P2. Correct P1. Ran out of characters so PC worked

If you have a good reason, it shouldn't?

PC answer "yeah I'm excited about the role I think it's a great opportunity. Would I take it if I were offered? Umm well idk I'd have to think about that. I think it depends on a couple things: start date and compensation"

Your recruiter relationship? There are a bazillion recruiters out there so don't worry about it. If it doesn't work out with this one then you move on to the next.

Politically correct

Pwc2 not a nice response. I take offense to it

OP, that response is perfectly reasonable. You were correct not to be backed into a contingent commitment. That's like a car salesman asking you whether you will buy the car if it is offered to you for $x. As long as you deal with all parties professionally, have reasonable reasons for your decisions, and don't play games or string them along, you will be fine with the recruiter unless the recruiter is very short sighted. He/she probably wants to make sure that you aren't seeking an offer just to obtain a counter offer from your current employer.

What do you do with a Staff with ~1 year exp that legit won’t work. For example, you give them a simple task at 10am that should take 3 hours max, they ignore your check-in messages and then ask if they can give it you in the morning. They never ask questions. Morning comes and they still didn’t do it. When they finally do it, it is riddled with errors and clearly shows they didn’t try. Working under tight deadlines, this staff is killing me as I cannot rely on them at all. What would you do?
