“We like you, but…” - Why employers want to see more candidates


Listen Later

Picture this: You nailed the interview, connected with the team, and felt a surge of excitement as the recruiter shared that they loved you. You were already picturing yourself in the role, ready to embrace new challenges and start fresh. But then, they dropped the bombshell - "We like you, but we want to see more candidates." The elation quickly gives way to confusion and doubt. What could they possibly mean?

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down the ridiculous reasons an employer might say this, and exactly what you can do about it so you come out on top.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Lorraine who bought us 3 coffees! She said “I'm resigning my job TODAY! I'm putting in my two weeks during lunch and I'll start my new job on June 5th! Thank you both so much for all your hard work and dedication to this pod! I binged through so many episodes before and after my interviews and in total *drumroll* I got 4 offers!! All range from $91k, $105k & $110k base salary 🤯 You've both helped me get a 25% pay raise (from $88k)!! I can't thank you both enough 😭 hi from the US!”
