My recruiter at a staffing agency is trying to start the background check before concluding acceptance of the 2 things I negotiated.

How do I text her back and say she needs to respond to my email first / I need to accept the offer definitively before starting the background check…? 😤 I don’t want to lose the offer entirely, but this is unprofessional

They could just be trying to help you out by keeping things moving? The two things aren't really related. If they don't meet your terms you just say no thanks and walk, who cares what other processes they've wasted their time on on their end.

I ended up taking the job because of how the market is/needing it. Can’t really say no even if it’s a ‘for now’ job.

It’s honestly making me angry 😤 Like, who do you think you are? I didn’t accept the terms and conditions yet, what other chaos is in store if I join this place? #vent

Started a new job search about 2 weeks ago. Of the 14 recruiter screening calls I’ve gone through, all went amazingly well, and I’ve only heard back at all from 4 since the calls. Why?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
