Offer to acceptance: The value of a quick coffee

“I received 3 great offers & have decided to go with Provider B. I enjoyed meeting with everyone from their team & feel like I’ve got a really good picture of their culture. Just feels like the best fit for me.”

In the case of an in-demand candidate, we always recommend an informal meet & greet with a senior leader – a 2-up line manager or similar. A quick coffee or 20min Teams meeting is often all it takes.

At this stage, the interviews are done & the team is keen to welcome their new hire. The senior leader’s role? To seal the deal.

Each time we facilitate this, candidates tell us how valuable it was to:
✅ Connect with a senior leader they may work alongside
✅ Gain another perspective on the organisation
✅ Feel reassured that leaders are approachable & have similar values

Most importantly, the investment of time from a senior leader sends a powerful message – the candidate will be valued.
