Interviewing with a startup. One dedicated HR person taking care of 30+ roles. I’ve had convos with the director I’d report to. He’s just super busy and the process is moving really slow...(cont.)

Take it as a sign... move on. The more you push, the weaker your position when it comes to negotiation. It may look like a great position, but if he’s this unresponsive when he’s trying to attract you to the company, imagine how responsive he’ll be when you’re there

They’re a small firm, there’s competing priorities, one HR person for a growing firm... unfortunately, it may be they are going from start up to small size company. Growing is hard and sometimes the fires they are putting out, outweigh the effort to bring some one in... I’ve seen it a couple times. It’s this inability of companies to get away from the fires that will keep them in start up phase.

Shoot I’ve seen this at large companies too... and I think it’s less about the operations of the company and more so about people... the people who just drop the ball on you like that are everywhere, it should be a warning sign.

At the end of the day... the why doesn’t matter because it’s all speculation. Move on. That’s why you always keep a couple eggs in your basket.

How should I handle this? In our convos he’s already mentioned he wants me to talk to the CFO and meet more of his team, and also get in touch with HR to get all the admin stuff out of the way. Sent him 2 follow ups in the last 2 weeks and still no response. He mentioned I’m a perfect fit and he’s been trying to fill this role for 3+ months. But again, he’s just unresponsive. Should I text him? Call him...? Email again?

SD1, but why take the time to talk and tell me all these things about who I should meet with and how you’ve had trouble finding someone etc when you’re just going to bail on me 😔

Follow up etiquette help needed! I am expecting a job offer at firm one next week or so. I am into the final phases at firm two.
