Is there a “best practice” for how far in advance to reschedule a virtual 30-minute hiring manager interview?

If I reschedule 2–3 business days ahead, is that generally considered too short / inconsiderate? Or is that still reasonable as long as I’m giving notice? Does it need to be a full week ahead to feel appropriate?

2 - 3 days out is completely reasonable for me but there are a lot of factors at play, many that you can’t control. Level, industry, urgency all play a part. I am in a senior role and would be HM for senior roles. I have waited a year for a candidate to be ready but I have also marked a candidate as ‘Do Not Hire’ for too much messing around in the recruitment cycle.

What do you mean by too much messing around in the recruitment cycle?

You should ideally receive slots from HR on when the hiring manager is available. If the 2-3 days you mentioned are within the timelines provided by HR then it’s fine.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.

He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
