Tell headhunter about another firm moving me to case study round?
As background, I am in London and recently had a case study round for a firm I'd love to work for. However, their process is quite long and very competitive. But for now I feel good about my chances.
Separetly, anothe firm quickly moved me to their case study round after meeting most of the team. The case study will take approx 1.5 weeks between the work itself, presentation etc.
Now, I am not 100% sure on this second firm. It is an upgrade over my current role but for the long term outlook of my career it might not be the move. I think I'd like to get an offer to hear the comp package etc.
Should I say to the Headhunter for my preferred role that this other firm is bringing me through a case study? There's no urgency yet and an eventual offer is still at least 2 weeks away, but given that the process with my preferred firm is still relatively long (they need to hear other case studies + I need to meet most of the team), I was thinking I should probably let the headhunter know. But maybe I should just wait until I get an offer?
Associate 1 in AM - FI, sorry there are no responses yet. Maybe one of these topics can point you in the right direction:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
I'd wait until you need to reach out to the HH in order to push them. For example, if they are long in getting back to on this step or the next for the preferred role. You'll have more leverage to recapture their attention if you lose it.
Good luck
No. If you talk to HH I'd mention you have another process that is nearing final rounds, don't be too urgent about it but just if they could schedule you on the earlier end of things. Firms typically won't accelerate unless you have an offer in hand
Also a 1.5 week long case study is a massive red flag and not industry standard... case study should not be more than ~3 hours or maybe one day worth of work. I would (and personally have done this) immediately drop out of any process with such a ridiculous ask. I get you are likely doing whatever you can to break in but that's beyond disrespectful to candidates and not a good indicator for how they'd treat an employee
