Hiring Manager: I'm not seeing the right candidate. I need to see more. Recruiter: But we are sending you people who reasonably match your job description. What's wrong with them? Hiring Manager: Yes, but they don't exactly fit the role. I need a superstar who can hit the ground running! Recruiter: We found a superstar. He works for a competitor in the same job. Hiring Manager: Yes! This is precisely what we are looking for! I'm sure he'd hit it out of the park for us! Recruiter: Great! But...he's not interested. Hiring manager: Why not!? This is a great job! Recruiter: Because it's a lateral move. He wants YOUR job. A true "superstar" candidate isn't going to accept a lateral move. They are looking to be challenged. Why not give the up-and-comer a chance instead? You may find yourself with a future superstar.
