Chuks Agada, Ph.D.

I spoke with a job seeker who received a $380,000 job offer for an executive leadership role last week.

The entire hiring process only took 18 days.

First, he had a phone screening with the recruiter.
Then, he met the hiring manager via Zoom.
The next week, he met the entire team via Zoom.
At the end of the second week, he also completed the panel interview.

On day 18, he met the CEO, and that evening he received the offer.

Companies don't need 10 rounds of interviews and 4 months to make a hiring decision!

Hiring Manager: I like this candidate, but I'd like to interview others as well.

Recruiter: We should hurry. The candidate is considering other offers.

Hiring Manager: No need to do that. There is plenty of time to decide.

Four weeks later...

Hiring Manager: Let's extend an offer to that candidate.

Recruiter: Too late, they accepted an offer elsewhere.

As a former recruiter, I can tell you this:

If impressed, make an offer, or someone else will.
