Meta: Going Through Two Hiring Committees

Apr 21 11 Comments

I recently had an on-site with Meta. I think the interviews went very well and am expecting an offer. I have other offers coming in as well, so my recruiter is pushing me through the process quickly. I went through the on-site with an E4 target but asked for E5 upleveling if my performance suggests I am an E5. My recruiter mentioned I am going through two hiring committees but may be able to go through just one if I give numbers. What does this mean? Is the first committee for hire/no hire and the second for the upleveling decision? Is there any advantage to giving numbers so that I can go through only one committee? Why would the numbers circumvent the need for a second committee?

Thanks for your help. FYI, my recruiter has been very helpful and pleasant, but I want to hear from the Blind community so that I can get some strategic advice.

TC: $310k

    Usually recruiter first goes go HC with interview feedback for go/no-go with offer, come back to you with initial offer number. After talking to you for some good reason (if there are any) to negotiate the number, recruiter goes back to the HC for negotiation. If your interview performance is really good and all feedback is good, recruiter can skip the first HC decision and give you a verbal offer with initial number and start the negotiation right away

      Thanks for the reply-exactly, I have 3 other offers in hand, and in a bit of tight schedule wanted to see after my tmrw call with the recruiter how soon I can get their numbers- seems based on what u say the same day?

    • What level are you going for? The deadline for getting an E4 offer was last Friday. If you have three offers, yeah, I would think they would get back to you the same day. My recruiter actually skipped the second committee and just extended there standard offer, so we could begin negotiations ASAP, before the E4 deadline.

    First is hiring committee, second is compensation committee.

    If you give numbers, she can do both committees in parallel. At least, that's what I'm reading from this.

  • Update for posterity: my recruiter confirmed that the first hiring committee is for hire/no hire, and the second committee is for compensation. This is the typical process. To speed up the process, my recruiter was able to do me a favor and make me an offer without the second committee.

    As an aside, my recruiter is the best I have worked with. They have really gone above and beyond for me and have been much friendlier than your typical recruiter.

    • It was already resolved in the comments above. This is the normal process. You go through one for the hire/no hire decision and another to determine the compensation of your initial offer. Also, I ended up getting an offer.
