acceptable talent practice, it makes me question the culture of the larger group. Am I wrong? Trying to convince myself I probably wouldn’t have liked it there anyways if this is how they operate.

That’s sad. Our hrs are horrible. Doesn’t represent the group but rather the hr. My team decides on hiring or not within 3 hours of interviews. And kind of entire team finds it relatively soon. What happens at hr desk is an effing mystery. Maybe follow up with a partner or director you met. If you liked them. If not maybe drop the hr an email again

HR is pretty junior leagues here. Not representative of the group itself.

Yeah my experience with HR has been horrible... from referring a candidate. But the my team itself is solid. How PwC handled my referral was an embarrassment—wish I was surprised to hear your story

Hey guys,

I have some interview rounds with Legato, now I got a mail stating that you have cleared the Technical rounds and for initiating the Hr discussions and Offer leteer you have to provide some documents.

The some documents includes all the documents which may and may not required for a proper joining.

Should I really need to provide those before HR discussion and offer letter?

Please help.

Thanks

I am far along in the interview process for a job I want (meeting with Chief Legal Officer next week), but am still accepting other interviews until I have a formal offer. However, I have an interview scheduled for early this week where, after further research, I don’t think I would be very happy. Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

So a company I interviewed with took me to the final round but rejected me for an architect role.

We had a call and he said he thought I would be a long shot replying back to him. Also, he said everyone liked me and no need to interview. He said he has to post it and let HR do their thing before he can make a final decision. Why post a job if you want me for it?

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received.

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?
