Trying to read in between the lines. I have a lateral position I am looking to join and was referred by several current employees at the firm. The email I received was much different in terms of tone than others.
Reading “we would like to extend you an opportunity to potentially join our team”. Recruiters or hiring managers, take this as a good sign or normal message for all candidates? Most I have received in the past are “we would like to move forward with your application to the next round”

Appreciate the response… just think it’s odd because I have had no formal interview convos. Just talked with several employees in the group who gave refferals

Does it talk about salary and time off and stuff like that? I’m guessing no - an “opportunity to potentially join our team” sounds like fancy-talk for “we’d like to give you a chance to interview” to me.

Does it matter? Don’t overthink it. Accept the opportunity to further the discussion and then figure it out.
