Should I let a new interviewing firm know I just signed with another firm?
A new opportunity came up that's more interesting to me than the one I signed a month ago, and I secured an interview with the new firm (that I'm more interested in). The tricky thing is, I already left my old employer and will start on the new job next month. The interviewer will for sure ask about what I've been doing / why I'm no longer with my old employer.
I was planning on just telling the truth (i.e. I have signed an offer and am about to start, but find your firm more aligned with me), but the headhunter told me, if i tell the truth, the firm might have second-thoughts about about me (i.e. whether I'd renege on them too if I'm doing this to the other firm that just gave me the offer).
The other option, if I don't let them know about my other offer/I'm interviewing behind the back of my new employer, is to just say I left my previous firm to focus on the job search/need a location change/some other excuse , etc.
Thoughts? Advice?
Are you already in the later stages? If so, say you have an offer in hand with a deadline of X (whenever you start). That might work at certain places. If not, unlikely to work as they might not want to accelerate a process for someone in the 1st round who already has a signed offer. They might tell you to let them know if things change/you don’t take the offer before proceeding. But try anyways if you want to.. the latter worked for me for a process I was very interested in despite it being in the early stages and me having a signed offer, but it was a rare instance. Just FYI from my experience recently.
my main concern here isn't whether they accelerate the process - the process can be done before i start on the new job. my concern is how to explain why i'm currently not employed at the firm listed on my resume
