My recruiter said my interviews(L4) went well and wants to proceed with Team Match before submitting to the Hiring Committee. Recruiter said doing Team Match first is better as I can get a statement of Support from the Hiring Manager. What are the downsides of following this approach instead of doing a team match after Hiring Committee?

    You are matched to desperate HMs nobody want to join. Popular teams only accept candidates who pass HC.

      Of course it's not baseless. My manager friends complain the recruiters approach them for SoS, and they reject all the time.

      Oh no your manager friends in a 130k person company 😱 what will we do?

      Agreed with PID but it’s generally more specialized work, not necessarily more interesting work. I’d personally team match first to answer your question

    Higher odds of getting past HC stage, the committee will review interview feedback more meticulously. Do you know how your interviews went?

    Honestly unless you have a unique skillset that might be hard to match… team match before HC is typically to beef up the chances of HC approval for a less than rock solid packet… so net net if the recruiter thinks its good to do team match… there must be some thinking behind it.. so go for team match and give it your best… if you dont love your first team change in a year!
