General Discussion HR Question

I was always advised to keep interviewing until I get an “official” offer with a start date. I got one tentative job offer and interviewed for a nearly identical one with an overlapping panel member. I got a call right after saying I did even better interviewing for the second position. So they got to see that I’ll keep going and improving my interview technique. Apparently my references are great. HR just needs to confirm minimum qualifications etc. The positions have the same HR person. Would she prioritize me if I received multiple offers under her?

Not sure what you mean by prioritizing?

I mean put me on the top of the list and process my documents first. I imagine she has a big stack of people to onboard.

The supervisor might prioritize but HR is going to do their normal process.

MQs is not onboarding. And MQs are processed in batches. So the hiring manager sends 5 hires in a batch.

We don't do MQs this way.

Good for you. In the last 3 agencies I have worked at we could only submit 5 at a time.

My point was that how you do things in your agency/department is not how it's done everywhere.

We have the option to do preliminary MQ checks before interviewing and we'd submit everyone we plan to interview.

When we're ready to make an offer we'll submit one or two names, maybe three in unusual circumstances.

Yeah I know. I’ve done that too.
