Question 1
Walk me through your process for filling a difficult role. From intake with the hiring manager to closing the candidate
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Open Systems Technologies (New York, NY) in Feb 2024
Interview
OST put me in touch with their client, a US based investment bank. They worked with me to ensure that I was always well prepared in terms of the substance of the role and the backgrounds of the people who I would be interviewing with. They stayed on top of feedback and follow ups and advocated strongly to get me into a very good consulting role. Much appreciated!

Question 1
They provided a job spec and then ensured that I understood their client's requirements and asked me to explain how my background met those requirements. This enabled them to better present me to the client and help land an offer.
Received an unsolicited email regarding a position in a major city two hours away from where I live. I replied, asking how much they would offer to help me relocate near the client's site. As expected, they never answered. It's obvious the recruiter didn't even look at a map before sending the email. They seem to be more interested in accumulating resumes than placing candidates. So unprofessional.
