Managing PE recruitment process
Background: in process with large fund for 2+ months.
Timeline:
- Initially they rushed process with compressed timeline
- I felt unprepared and asked to reschedule R1 interviews
- Eventually completed first interview (performance was mediocre)
- Second interview was cancelled twice on 1 hour notice
- They promised to reschedule and get back
- Complete radio silence since then
Current Situation: - Waited to book travel plans until hearing from them
- After no response, had to proceed with booking non-refundable trip for this weekend
- They may now respond this week
Given this timeline - should I:
1. Push through - accommodate interviews this week despite travel conflicts (could do Friday AM from hotel)
2. Accept it’s over - extended delays + silence likely means they’ve moved on
What’s the read here? Is this salvageable or are they just stringing me along at this point?
At this point, I wouldn't schedule your life around this interview. If this was a date, you'd have written off your chances by now (or at least wouldn't be saving your Thursday nights for a follow-up).
If they come back, you can play it out, but they're clearly in no hurry, so if you have to punt a few days to accommodate your travels, doesn't sound like it'll cost you the seat (which appears low odds if you didn't catch my takeaway above).
I suspected it.
But if I do not take the interview this week, then I will be unavailable for another 2 weeks
Maybe I'm confused. Have they actually reached out for an interview this week or is this all hypothetical? I assumed the latter.
