Is it okay to add a manager, who I had an interview with on LinkedIn, even though I did not get the job?

After second round of interviews, it came between me and someone who had direct experience for that position and his boss made the final call. However he said in his email that he thinks I would be a great fit for the company and he would be more than happy to refer to other finance departments if I needed too. So I thought it's good to be in touch on LinkedIn.

^thanks for the further detail. In that case it sounds like it wouldn't be horrible to add. Thank him for the interview and by being connections on LinkedIn maybe he reaches out in the future.

I don't see the usefulness here. You haven't worked with them and don't have any other connection to them besides an interview in which you were passed over for a position. What are the reasons you want to add this person? What are you hoping to get out of the connection?

Sorry for the grammar mistakes , did not prove read my text 😬

Yeah, that is what I'm hoping for.

id say thats completely fine. i would even suggest sending a note every 2 to 3 months to keep that network

I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
