THE HIRING LINE:

1. Greg is delighted to tell us that R. has accepted the role of CEO for an exciting startup! These folks are green, though, and Greg pulled Waffles in because they have no idea what the job description (or comp) should look like! Stay tuned for the other shoe to drop on this story…
2. Paula’s client K. wrote:

“Hi Paula,

I have some great news.  It seems that I have been selected as the new Director of Diversity and Inclusion for [a municipality on the East Coast].  I have not received an offer just yet because it needs to get a rubber stamp from the selection board. I’ll let you know more as I learn more.

K.”

Yay, Paula, another one landed!

OFFERS:

1. Anne is pleased to announce that J. has presented her with the written offer from a consulting firm for the position of Sales Consultant! Details in process!

INTERVIEWS ADVANCE:

1. J. to Paula:

“So I have had the next interview with [a global association of investment professionals]. I think it went quite well; this person seemed more senior than the hiring manager. Wanted to get into a lot of detail, so I was able to do that with her, there was a lot of ‘OH, I wish we had done that’ statements – so I think it was quite positive. Let’s see – [the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company] has also scheduled two of theirs for Friday, but still one outstanding, and [the global association of investment professionals] have one more to schedule.”

Two birds in the hand, J.!

2. Paula’s client L. is also moving forward with two great ones: AVP interviews at a nonprofit providing disability services and for a COO role with a non-profit digital startup incubator.
3. George stops by:

“I wanted to fill you in on my client C. He had a great call with the principals at [a water filtration company]. When he asked them what the next steps were, they indicated that they will contact him this coming Monday and set up a time where they will either travel to meet with him in person, or they will send their corporate plane to pick him up and bring him to their headquarters, as they want to move ahead with a general manager position. C. also heard from the principals at [a private equity firm]. They told him that they have made a bid to buy a new company, and that if the bid is successful, they will make him an offer to run the new company. They made an all cash offer and believe they have a better than even chance to be successful. It’s fun to talk to C.!”

Great news, George!
