A recruiter told me that they have 3 finalists and asked for more details to decide the final one. Why would any recruiter reveal the number of finalists? They could have just asked me the details, right?
How Do You Know It’s Time to Give Up?
A recruiter told me they have three finalists and asked for more details to decide the final one. Why would any recruiter reveal the number of finalists? They could just ask me for the details, right? Well, the reason is pretty simple. And from their standpoint, what they were trying to do was exert pressure.
And by the way, Kevin Wilson, good morning. I’ll get to that in just a second. Okay.
So they want to exert a certain amount of pressure to indicate a desire for compliance. And the simple thing is they wanted to see whether or not that pressure could cause you to be nice, play well with others, things along those lines, and not give them a rough time. Because when someone thinks that they’re the finalists, they’re the only ones.
Now, there’s a degree of arrogance that sometimes shows up. So they wanted you to behave and they wanted you to worry, am I going to get this job or am I going to blow it now? So that’s very simple. It’s a simple answer for it.
Pressure. Put pressure.
