What’s the chance of a hiring manager reaching out to your current boss if they used to work together? My boss has no idea I’m looking and obviously want to keep it that way.

Depends if they're still friends or haven't talked in years

How closely did they work together? Can you see if they are connected on Facebook/Instagram... if they are friends then there is a good chance that they connect but if they were just acquaintances then probably not.

If I was you new boss I might reach out to your current boss and say "I just see how your doing, I just hired a really great guy to do x, how are things going with your team" Thats as invasive as I would get.

Hope this is a joke…

Husband worked in an education nonprofit for 7 years - started as program staff, quickly promoted to program director, left because of toxic management, lured back as another team manager with better pay and benefits but toxic boss is no longer worth it.

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?
