Interview Process Feedback
Recently had a interview with a institutional value-add REIT and this is how the process went through the third party recruiter. What are your thoughts on process below? Do I have a shot at being called to provide clarification.
- Scheduled a meeting with the HR of the company who then in the end told me she'll have me meet the CEO
- The CEO meeting went well I described my value-add experience (8 YOE with 1.5 in development of multi-family and remaining in Core / Value-add multi-family)
- Case Study Round
- Called in to present Case Study to the CEO and Director of Finance, and HR. CEO said case study was perfect and we do not need to walk through. Asked me about my experience at the current developer which was combination of modeling, asset management of existing porfolio, spearheading capital raising efforts for each project.
- Third party recruiter gets back to me and says they said you were to development focused which caught me off-guard.
- I called the recruiter this morning and said if that is indeed their concern I'd appreciate if they can allow me an opportunity to clarify as their may have been a miscommunication. The recruiter thought it was a good idea given I was the lead candidate. She spoke to HR, to which the HR said they will need to think about it.

Perhaps i missed it, but what was the role/job description that you applied for?
Manager level.
Sounds like they don't want you...I'd move on.
Yes clearly. Point is the awkward process from calling a model perfect to not extending me an offer when I was the top candidate.
Unlikely that they will give you honest feedback. For all you know, you could have been the perfect candidate, but they decided to go with the partner's nephew. Just take what the recruiter said at face value and focus your energy on other interviews/processes.
