They are Olympians. They are Mothers. And They No Longer Have to Choose

WorkMonger is excited to cheer on all athletes as the Olympics kick off this week. As we think about supporting parents in the workplace, we need to remember that it goes beyond an office - like onto a track or a soccer field!

 
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

How honest should you be during an interview about your interest/likelihood of accepting an offer during an interview process?

A friend recently consulted me after an employer she was interviewing with asked about her likelihood of accepting the role if offered. Hiring processes can take a long time and use up a lot of an employer’s resources, and though this isn’t a common question, some employers will ask this early on to gauge how many resources they should invest in interviewing you. My friend was serious about considering the opportunity, which is why she applied in the first place, but she also knew that it wasn’t her dream role. She wanted to balance an honest answer with the hiring team while also ensuring they kept her in the process. Here’s how I advised her to answer:

• Reiterate why she was excited about the role and the organization.
• Get specific about what aspect of the interview process she’d enjoyed thus far, such as conversations she’d had with current members of the team or performance tasks.
• Share that she believes this role is aligned with her goals, but she’s also considering a few options as she explores her next opportunity.
• Reiterate where she sees the alignment between the role, organization, and her goals, and that she’d really love to continue learning about whether it’s a good fit for her and if she’s a good fit for the role.

Hiring managers usually assume candidates are applying to multiple positions at once. Getting specific about why this role excites you and where you see alignment is a great way to continue the conversation with the hiring team.
