10 things Recruiters will NEVER admit to candidates:

1/ We already know who's getting the job. But we just have to treat you as a backup without telling you 2/ I did not read your entire resume 3/ Your rejection wasn't really about you 4/ I forgot to follow up 5/ The "TO-BE-OFFERED" salary was decided before you even interviewed 6/ I am forced to say "We will keep you resume on records for other opportunity" 7/ Hiring managers are the bottleneck - not us 8/ We're constantly under pressure to fill roles fast - not perfectly 9/ We prioritize EASIER candidates - available, interested, fits in budget that kinds 10/ Sometimes - we post jobs the job doesn't even exist - we were asked to build a pipeline Bonus: 11/ You could have negotiated for more or asked for more salary

Recruiting isn't as clean and transparent as it should be. Now mull on that.

One of the most unproductive and useless job is HR, along with program manager

Program manager highly depends on the company/project.

That’s what most would suggest you to do. Since the system lacks integrity. I however believe just cause the system plays dirty one doesn’t need to stoop to their levels.

I have been in this situation so let me tell you this.

  1. Just try to get that 1st offer by any chance.
  2. After you are in notice period and you become an immediate joiner,you can leverage this point to get the offer. If you say I will join in 10/15 days, that has a great impact.
  3. lower your budget for your 1st offer, for them it will be an easy bet, and for you will get multiple chances to negotiate with other companies.
