Our client Rick got a job offer last week. The offer took him by surprise. He’d talked about compensation in a general way with his hiring manager Kristin ten days before, but Rick didn’t know an offer was coming, much less what the offer would contain.
After ten days, Rick’s offer arrived via Fedex. “Are you going to accept it?” we asked him.
“I don’t know,” said Rick. “I like the team, I like Kristin, but this is just the type of missed communication opportunity this firm specializes in. Who sends a Director-level candidate an offer and doesn’t tell him it’s coming?”
