I’ve noticed some retail roles now ask for video interviews instead of in person first rounds. I find it harder to come across naturally on camera. Do you think video interviews put some candidates at a disadvantage or is it just the new normal?

I do think video interviews put some people at a disadvantage, especially if they come across better in person or just feel awkward on camera. At the same time it is definitely becoming more normal. I usually try to treat it like its own skill now because some great candidates probably do get judged more on camera presence than they should.

I think so too! I’m so awkward over the camera!

It could, if your personality doesn’t translate well in video. I feel like it’s a new normal, since it’s so much more convenient for employers to do it that way. It could also be a means of discrimination, I always thought… 🤔

I much prefer face to face I think!

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

I saw this and thought I'd share. What do you say? “Diversity hiring does not mean a lower bar for diverse candidates. They still need to interview and pass the hiring bar. Therefore, diversity hiring is not unfair to other non-diverse applicants."

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
