1st: Recruiter 2nd: Hiring Manager 3rd&4th: Other Marketing team members 5th: Case Study presented to CMO and other key players 6th: 1:1 with CMO Straight forward, talked to team members to showcase my skills, put forth a case study, met with CMO. The marketing team seemed great and I really enjoyed my conversations across the board. Unfortunately, I didn't share that same experience with the talent aquisition team member assigned to the opening. They would not give me a straight answer for a salary range, I asked multiple times, and told her that based off my research (competitors, glassdoor, payscale, etc) what it looked like the role entailed, she told me it was not accurate, but still would not give me a range. I gave her a slightly lower range (still competitive with the industry, competitors, etc.) and they decided it wouldn't work out. This was definitely a disappointment, as I had mentioned multiple times I was willing to negotiate, but with no reference number to understand and the recruiter's refusal to manage expectations it was all very disappointing. I would encourage the team to at a minimum give a range/minimum that would at least give a candidate an idea of their expectation for the role.
