First a phone call from company recruiter to discuss role and money opportunity. Once interested, a second call from a different person at that company (hiring manager). Follow up call from recruiter to weigh in on interest from both sides. Next step is set up for a "HireVue" interview so they can see you and your selling style. Follow up call from the recruiter to weigh in on interest from both sides. I requested to speak with a common employee. That was set up and was a very encouraging call. Next the recruiter asked me if I'd take the job if offered because he was going to consider me as the last step. If I accepted, at my own expense, I would have to fly across country for a week of training. The hotel would be their responsibility. Although the overall opportunity looked promising, I had a big problem without an offer letter spelling out the actual salary potential. Since nothing was in writing and they seemed to be pretty cheap by not flying me out. Standard and customary practice in the hiring business is if you go through an interview process and find good talent, you are pretty excited to fill the spot and comp the next steps. Why would you put any costs on the new employee. This was an easy decision to walk away.
