@MikosMiko 5 месяцев назад

I have had many interviews that I objectively thought went really well, the vibe was great, I was well prepared and I left the interview feeling really good, interviews that checked off most if not all the boxes you shared. Interviews where the hiring manager/interviewer in some cases tells me they liked me so much that they were going to set up follow-up calls with their team (exactly what you said) and even named specifically who I would be meeting. I feel great and eagerly anticipate and prepare for “next steps.” Then I get email a week or so later saying they did not feel I was strong candidate or they wanted to go “in a different direction.” Which makes no sense as it did not line up with the conversation/interview. I’ve learned to keep looking no matter how good the interview goes.

@Wesjapa100 10 месяцев назад

My experience as a jobseeker, especially in the past 2 years and a half, is that recruiters think that their time is extremely valuable and yours is not, e.g.: they reach out to you, you respond promptly and they simply disappear. Besides that, I don't understand why they never give you feedback and you specialists usually say that it is bad to ask for feedback. I mean, we all want to improve in everything in life, not only in professional life, so why can't you let me know what went wrong so I could improve in the next ones???

I had a Zoom interview with 2 people, and one excused themselves to another appointment. It was unfortunate because I really vibed with the person who stayed, but she was clearly not the decision maker. Long story short, I was ghosted by the employer. They didn't let me know either way if they would be moving forward, which to me is very unprofessional.

@donquique1 4 месяца назад

I was so nervous , I think I had a mini panic attack…haha. I don’t interview much and this was/is my dream company. During the first half of the first round I was horrible but I was able to turn it around and went over the 45 min. Second and third rounds were pretty smooth. I was expecting a call from the recruiter saying “sorry but..” but she said they were all positive and now we need to schedule a “fit” interview. So looks like I’m still in the running.

You got the job is there only good sign. That’s it! I interviewed with a company that I thought was a great fit for me and my prayers were being answered. I interviewed with the recruiter, hiring manager and physician. I hit all the positive signs. The physician even gave me great feedback! Do you know how hard it is to answer clinical questions with a physician? She told me I did great and I should hear something with in a week! The recruiter sounded excited in her emails. My last step with was a “ meet and greet”. I was told by the hiring manager to see if this job was a great fit for me... A bunch of BS! It’s an interview! The employees at the office spoke to me as if I was going to be hired. Until She mentioned that “You are the last one”. Sighs... I send my thank you letter the night and morning... 🦗 🦗🦗 Never heard back! I know for a fact those employees played a demise in getting this job!

@chocolatecapricorn9418 3 года назад

The employees even told me when I arrived that they really liked me (Hiring manager, Physician and Recruiter). She stated that she liked me too! Only thing I can think of it’s the employees feed back to the hiring manager or the client in between.I think it’s unprofessional for employers to act like they are going to hire you and then ghost you. Candidates listen up! There are no positive signs, the only one...you are hired! 🎯

@Outlawv21992 11 месяцев назад

Ben this is SPOT on sir. I just interviewed with a company that hired me in a three step interview process. First was a web interview with the recruiter that found me. Second was a web interview with the VP and program director of the division I’d be working if they were interested followed by a in person interview with the program director and two new people who would be my direct reporting supervisors if hired. And I’d say about 8 out of 10 of these things happened. The interview was first your standard interview questions, then got light hearted and off topic for a bit about football and what my interests were outside of work. They are looking to see if you are a “culture fit” for the company. The program director then asked something you may not have touched on. He concluded the interview talking about how long it generally takes to get an offer letter and inquired “do you have any other offers on the table?” That’s a CLEAR sign they like you bc they want to make sure they either have or don’t have competitors for you. I asked for 95k annual. They answered 2 days later with an offer letter for well over my ask and into 6 figures. Great video my guy.

Thank you for the video! I got several of the signs you mentioned (I even got told by the person who would be my supervisor If I had got the job that they would be delighted to have me in their team, so I was like oh well things are looking good), and the people I interviewed actually replied to my emails asking what each interview will be about and even my thank-you emails. I had the final interview with the head of support that went well in my opinion, and they told me the recruiter will get in touch with me in three days, and they all have gone silent since. That did not stop me from looking elsewhere, of course, but given the efforts I made during the process, I'm really gutted.

Well it sounds like there were a lot of good signs! Hopefully you get it. One thing I have learned on recruiting is that things never move as quick as we would like, so hope isn’t lost. But I always advise people to keep applying!

Later at the end of the interview, he explained to me in detail about the team and what work they do. He closed the interview by asking me if I have any considerations for this role and when I am available to join. So I am kind of confused in terms of how the interview went. Your take on this will be super helpful. Thanks.

@kenzooznek818 Год назад

Hi Ben! I like your video by the way. On the contrary, what happens to me is the opposite. All that you mentioned were correct at first. I believe all these signs of interest before until I got some interviews that changes everything. For instance, the interviewer were happy, took you so long to be interrogated, asked you about your expected salary, toured you at the place., and asked if I have questions in mind. After a day or 2, the interviewer messaged me that they will not continue with my application. It was so depressing and frustrating back then. You will never expect this to happen after this interviewer showed signs of interest. I can probably say it all depends on the hiring manager and HR, and do not expect much from the signs. By the way, I am not trying to be pessimistic about this. I just wanted to share my experiences that even they show signs, do not expect from it because there might also other factors that they might not consider with your application. I rather keep on applying other jobs until the offer letter comes.

@mmmed Год назад

This is a great video! I think I've hit most of the signs (going ~7 minutes longer, giving positive feedback when I asked comments on my performance, did small talks and chatted a bit on travel plans), but there're also some obvious bad signs (not replying to my thank-you note after being connected with the interviewer on LinkedIn, pretty incoherent interview questions, almost as if he was thinking of some on the spot, and I have some basic technical questions wrong). How should I go about my interview, and should I reach out to the interviewer again? I'm interviewing for an internship at a large financial institution for the context

I am torn whether or not they are truly interested because, as a recruiter myself, I would already know the hiring managers schedule and schedule the interview. What are your thoughts?

Just from my experience in job hunting, if the recruiter wants you to take a drug screening test, you can pretty much assume you've gotten the job. . . providing you pass it! Because those tests cost a lot of money, they only make candidates take them if they intend to hire them. Consider that the "final hurdle" in the hiring process. WORD OF WARNING: Don't eat a poppy-seeded bagel before the drug test because it will show up as an opioid on the test. It has happened to me and others.

Mixed signals? Hiring Manager and I had a good rapport, some small talk. Offered to extend the interview for my questions. Lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes instead of 1 hour. I felt it was one of my best. I already knew next steps because HR mentioned them during the phone screen. When I asked the Hiring Manager for next steps, said HR handles all of that. Hiring Manager had been on vacation for a month, genuinely didn't know? I believe I am one of the first to interview for the role and it's available due to restructuring. Thoughts?

Hi Ben! So, I had my last interview with the hiring team recently, and I was complimented on a couple of occasions. Also, the manager I'd be working with cracked a joke in reaction to a situation I gave, which I'm not sure is a good indication. While asking inquiries, they mentioned that a relocation allowance is included in the package, something I had never heard of before, as well as the part concerning career progression. In addition, the manager attempted to relate to a topic he posed and elaborated on it. I did receive replies to my thank you note within minutes from the recruiter and the following day of the interview from one of the hiring team members. I'm not sure if that's typical or if I should view that as a good indicator?

If a recruiter asks you about compensation and are you interviewing anywhere else it doesn't mean nothing as recruiters just want to find out how fast to move you in the process so they don't potentially miss out on you and compensation is to check that they can afford you. But if anyone else other than the recruiter asks u about whether you are interviewing elsewhere or how much compensation you are expecting then that is a good sign

Hi Ben, I had my second interview today and I don’t think I did well. Although the recruiter asked me if I had any questions which I did ask and also asked me my salary expectations but the HOD of the department I was being interviewed for when asked if he had any questions said nothing and I don’t know what to expect. Mind you at the first interview he did ask me questions. I was told by the recruiter that he and the HOD would discuss and get back to me. He didn’t say when.

Hey! I had my initial interview for talent acquisition on Monday with the senior TA team, they seemed really impressed and an hour after my interview they set up a meeting with the TA team that would be my peers. That interview went really great as well and they complimented me a lot. I followed up with the recruiter and she said “hey Rudy, I heard your interview went great. We are doing more interviews this week and hope to have an update for you by next week.” Do you think this is a good sign?

@SlyFitty 11 месяцев назад

Did you get an offer back? and also how long did you wait till you contacted the recruiter for an update on the position. I'm currently waiting for either a offer or denied position back from tesla had a phone call interview and also a in person interview this Monday the 21 which I feel both went well but I dont want to contact the recruiter too soon and seem to buggy or desperate for the position.

@michaelclark1330 2 года назад

I just interviewed with a small company for a manufacturing engineer co-op position. They had a senior manufacturing engineer and someone who is in my role. The interview and tour lasted about 5 minutes more than the expected 90. The senior engineer, who I’d estimate is around 25, did a lot more talking. He had highlighted in several sections in my resume, and asked questions about everything in my experience and interest sections. He seemed to show approval and interest of my answers to these questions by nodding and complimenting at least one aspect of not only my answers, but also the content of the experience section. I walked out confident, but then I watched your video on signs that you didn’t get the job. After a Q&A from me at the end of the interview, he finished with “We’ll be in touch”. You labeled that as a red flag, but I felt really good about how he made connections between my résumé’s experience section and the job. Any tips for my remaining 18 interviews (some virtual and phone calls) over the next two weeks? Thanks for the great videos!!

I've passed a first interview with the external recruiter, 4 hours of psychological and technical tests, and yesterday I had one interview with the regional managers and another one with another external recruiter. If I pass yesterday's interviews I will meet the CEO and know the company name. I was wondering if they're going to fire the current person working in the position, and they don't want to let them know about it, but want to keep the business going. The recruiter has been very consistent, professional, respectful, last interviews went exceptionally well, they tried to sell me the position and company culture, but not knowing the company is weird. Have you heard something like this? Has anybody had this kind of experience? Thanks in advance for your insights!
