Most of my clients have very long processes, some even include Assessments and meeting with physiologists before an offer is made. I’ve never had anyone back out or ghost because I’m always very upfront about what to except and how long it can take. I also prioritize candidate engagement and making sure I keep candidates warm throughout the entire process by checking in with them at least once or twice a week.

Hope that helps!

You’re a brilliant Manager, thank you for sharing ! @Search Consultant 1

You have to be upfront about it. Or, loosen it some. Something has to give.

While I appreciate everyone's comments it comes down to this. Please understand I have been in HR full cycle for over three decades. First and foremost if you are the recruiter or onboarder you need to fully establish your ramp or lead time. Period! Without this information readily available you will be swimming.
Once you have take that into account, you can proactively start the process with that information in the foreground. Time is of the essence. Attracting and retaining talent in this pool has to make sense and return on investment to all stakeholders at the end of the day has to align with organizational objectives. Recognize it is not about your efforts but cumulative on all levels. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

I once took a job that after 4-5 months, I felt I was still unsuccessful in understanding the concepts. I was ready to quit when I asked my manager if he knew when he hired me I had a steep learning curve. He then said he did and that it takes about a year to grasp it. If I had known upfront, I believe I would’ve still took the job but would have felt less pressure early on.

Are all of these steps REQUIRED, or are they parts of the process that can be eliminated for efficiency? If they are REQUIRED, then when posting the job and through the entire process make sure the candidates understand the expected timelines for roles to be filled

Been through all interviews, recruiter said it's looking good but they would let me know early this week and asked if that works from a timing perspective since they know I was interviewing with someone else also. I said yeah that's fine. Would it be weird to follow up today or should I wait to hear from them? Want this one over the other but don't want to seem desperate..

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot.

Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?
