Do we really need Product Managers? 🧐
Completed the virtual onsite loop, and a day later the recruiter reached out to ask for references and whatnot. Two weeks later she sends an email that my packet was going to the HC today. Given her enthusiasm, I assumed it would go through but now I just got a rejection email back. I'm wondering if I got the signals wrong, or what else could have gone wrong. #facebook #interview #recruiting
What was the role? It is extremely competitive right now.
Did your references screw your ?
You got the signal wrongz
Did your reference people give bad feedback about you, I have seen that happen with some people .. had very good interview performance but their references gave bad feedback so they got rejected for the job .. some people trust their reference too much to give good feedback about them but their references don’t give good feedback
Maybe your feedback wasn’t good enough, but the recruiter doesn’t necessarily know how to distinguish very strong vs strong vs decent feedback. Are you currently a TPM at Google?
(1) HC job is to say yes to some and say no to some (2) recruiter wouldn’t waste their time to go to HC if they thought the answer is no(3)recruiters job is also to get you pumped up and ready to join ASAP, so telling you that you suck is unlikely to happen
I've had many candidates get rejected at HC. Me as the HM and the recruiter feel like we have a really good shot at some packets (when they are not all hires) and take them thru only for the HC to feel like the candidate hasn't met the bar. One of three axes - tech/PgM/Leadership has to really shine.. if all 3 are lukewarm, chances of rejection at HC are higher. This is from my time at FB. Btw, we're hiring at CB. please DM If you're interested.
What level/YOE?
