What if during the interview process I was told that they have pivoted on the needs, and won’t be hiring for the role. Only to find out 2months later that they did just hire for that role.

Tks. I just wish for a little honesty . I can take negative feedback. And learn from it. But I can’t learn from this.

Ah, sorry to hear. Recruiting is such a black box mess. One thing I started doing is at the end of calls ask questions like “What parts of the role do you think would be a challenge for me? What are key skills or accomplishments you need to see the person you hire deliver in the first 100 days? What about my experience can I dial up or tighten to help in the next round?” So I can get feedback on how I did and address concerns they might have. Not all the recruiters shared good feedback, but some would tell me good advice. Good luck!

sounds like they are a bunch of arseholes and you dodged a bullet.

feels shitty in sure but imagine if you were working with that crap every day.

you learned that recruiting is weird and opaque and often not personal.

'pivoted on our needs' could mean 'we really wanted to hire you but our client's CMO suggested we hire xyx person'. you really don't know. doesn't mean they didn't like you.

That sucks, but there’s nothing you can do but keep searching. Even if the job title is the same, the hire’s experience and strengths are likely different from yours. Good luck OP!

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
