Is it normal for a SCREENING interview to be with a member of the team the role will be leading?

A recruiter reached out by email for a VP role and the screening meeting was extended to a Director in the group who reports to the VP. Is this a normal occurrence?

Like any interview, except they will likely ask more rote interview questions because it’s a bit awkward to interview someone more senior. Needs to be a personality fit for them. Be collegial.

Thanks

That’s interesting. This is a first time for me. Any guidance on what I should expect the screening discussion to cover?

I've seen it happen for more senior positions, less so at the senior manager/director levels and below. Had a first round interview last week for an industry SM position that was done by a M level person. It was just a slightly more in depth conversation than I had with the recruiter during the phone screen. I've got the next round coming up soon which will be with a director and senior director, I expect to get into the actual meat of the interview process then.

Likely do 360 reviews, too. Just be cool

Absolutely. I’ve conducted plenty of pre-interview screens over the years.

Screening is generally done by the Recruiter, but they seem to be broadening the definition.

Yup, I do screening calls for my group routinely

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter.

HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.
