Coffee chat with hiring manager prior to interview
Discussion
Hey all! A job has come up unexpectedly that I am very interested in, with a company that I would love to work for. I sent my CV to the recruitment agency for this role just over a week ago. I have been told that the hiring manager at the company wants to organise a few chats over coffee before conducting any formal interviews.
I'm hoping to hear from the recruitment agency this week. Fingers crossed they get me a chat with the hiring manager. The recruiter thinks I'm a very good fit based on my CV and can't see me not getting to the next stage.
My thoughts are that the potential coffee chat is probably even more important than the formal interview and I like the idea of being able to chat without the pressures of a formal procedure.
Has anyone been hired this way and if so what were your experiences? Any tips? I plan to be as fully prepared as possible.
