"There's a sense of urgency" says recruiter. Then crickets..The recruiters' rush should not be(the candidate's) emergency. Candidates respond fast, hoping to land "next step" & ultimately the job. But, more often than not the recruiters' rush ends up being a time consuming game of calling, txting w/no response from recruiter. Recruiters; take inventory of the job, make sure it's ready to be filled, too many stories of "they went with internal candidate" or "they jumped the gun with the opening".

Agreed. Too many times I’ve been told they were moving fast with a job, only to drag it out forever, and then I didn’t even get an offer in the end. A rush job means a lot of mistakes at this point.

Recruiters say “urgent” the way toddlers say “I’ll clean my room.” Meaning: not today, not tomorrow, maybe never.

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
