Comment on Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?

  If they need someone THAT fast, it means they are desperate.

  My office has an opening, but we’re doing fine for now, so we can wait for the right person, instead of hiring the first person to send in an app.

    I’m just worried cause I responded quickly, also has some basic quick questions, and it’s been almost an hour and I haven’t heard back from her. So I’m wondering if she just doesn’t want to deal with me anymore. And it’s furthering my red flag detector tbh

      Based on other information you shared, it kind of sounds like they get a commission on the number of applications they provide for the “client”. They probably don’t know or care if you’re qualified for the position.

  It’s time sensitive - she needs someone to fill this position right now. If it’s so time sensitive, she might be willing to pay more than she normally would to get someone to do so.

    She said the pay is stated by me, and then she discusses it with the client to see how much they’re willing to pay basically

      So it’s a recruiter for a contractor company? They sometimes get bonuses if they fill the position within a certain time so it might be why they are so pushy. Also recruiters are working against other agencies so they will be super pushy or if it sounds like you are not on board they will just drop the conversation and move to another mark.

        I just asked about what time zone the hours are in… she just asked if it’s a “full time job” and I also asked if I can apply within a few hours if that’s ok… she can say it’s not and I’ll try to do it quicker but idk how long it would take me to format my resume

        Anyway guess she dgaf

        She is the co owner of the company it’s like a startup type thing where they find people virtual admin assistants
