the interviewees/interviewers should have some method of communicating issues that takes less than a minute to initiate (email, phone call, etc) i give coworkers 10 minutes for real meetings so they get 10 minutes unless something came up and was communicated then i figure it out based on the situation i assume many adults would do something similar but i am always surprised/annoyed when they dont

for my phone interview at google, there was some problem where i dialed the number correctly, it put me on hold, and never alerted the interviewer that i was waiting. for all he knew, i was 5 minutes or so late until i disconnected and tried again and got through. i want to say that i ended up using a whole different thing (voice bridge vs not, or direct call to his office number, or something like that) to make it work. anyway, sometimes technology fucks up so don't be too much of a stickler imoquote:the interviewees/interviewers should have some method of communicating issues that takes less than a minute to initiate (email, phone call, etc) yeah, but "should" is doing a lot of work there, especially if you have e.g. an east coast recruiter and it's a west-coast end-of-work-day type thing

yeah "should" assuming the best world. catastrophes can happen, but they can also be communicated later as well, and sometimes people's patience have already worn out, that sucks and that's life i hate having to qualify everything

very important points being brought up here. one more option is that maybe a bear walks into someone's house minutes before their interview and mauls them before they can join the call, leaving them incapable of shooting me an e-mail to clear up exactly what happened. i don't know how i would recover from this scenario

The only no-show I ever had, I called the candidates phone, and discovered that the recruiter had not taken time zones into account when scheduling. The recruiter told me they'd set up a different interview with the candidate, but I don't actually know what happened in the end. It wasn't with me, because I had zero overlap between reasonable working hours in my time since zone vs. times that the candidate was available in their time zone.

one thing i kept from my upbringing and broadened is that non-time zoned times dont exist to me

since I started being on the interviewer side of the table recruiters have hosed up the interview in one way or another at least 50% of the time

I'm not sure if this has more to do with me or the economy but I'm now getting more recruiters trying to connect with me so that I'll hire their candidates than recruiters trying to hire me

i think you're generally right. the well of recruiters trying to hire seems to have largely dried up. on the other hand, the number of recruiting companies seems to have exploded in count job postings are pretty much spam these days

Not exactly interviewing, but career and comp related vent/question. I left a startup a few months ago, exercised all my options on the way out for the low price I got in at. It took 2 months for the CEO to sign it, and then my funds went through the next day. Then it just sat there on Carts, nothing happening. This went on for a month and I emailed the CFO, who emailed the CEO, and nothing happened. I emailed later that week exactly 90 days after I left because I was worried the 90 day limit might cause an issue since they hadn't done poo poo. Crickets in return, but the 90 day time limit wasn't a problem because I started the process early. I triple checked this on Carta to make sure it hasn't been silently canceled or something. Yesterday I filed an issue on Carta (a month after that email) to see if that would get anything done. Finally this morning, more than 4 months since I quit, the CEO clicked the box and transferred the shares to me, and I'm officially rid of those assholes. What was the correct way to proceed forward in this situation, should it arise again? Email for a paper trail is the right thing, but is there a certain point I should just grab a lawyer and have them send an angry letter? Do I just spam the CFO every day? I'm so glad to be out of that place

I'm so glad to be out of that place you don't have to jump straight to a lawyer but keep escalating the tone in your emails until you finally say you'll need to lawyer up if they don't get their poo poo together. after that if they still don't respond then yeah, lawyer time

I haven’t gotten much recruiter mail lately but this week got hit up by 3 and they surprisingly led with with salary ranges (all pay cuts) and each was some form of “hybrid” in office 1-3 days a week. maybe some Chicago companies see an opportunity to push offers down and people back into offices

if they lead with a number it's your duty to politely decline while telling them the salary is too low. help out your fellow touchers
