Re: Even One More Recruiter Question

I'd certainly start to wonder if I really wanted to work in a place that 
couldn't seem to get its act together. Though with my ego, I'd probably 
think they absolutely needed me to put things right. :-)
Sometimes employers just can't seem to pull the hiring process together 
the way they'd like, especially if they are shorthanded due to a 
vacancy. If you've had other offers, it might be worth telling them that 
you have other opportunities to consider so you would like to know what 
their projected timeline is for getting this position filled. I would 
reiterate my interest in the job while subtly telling them that a good 
candidate may slip through their fingers if they don't move on it. The 
internal recruiter may be just as frustrated about it as you are. How 
badly do you want that job? What seems perfect on paper doesn't always 
turn out to be perfect in reality, we all know that. Sometimes all you 
have to do is make the mental decision to forget it completely, and the 
phone will ring. :-)
