So I know we are to chose 1 but I want to try my hand at all 3 just to get some critiques. Scenario A:Your candidate just got the offer, said “I’m so excited!”… and then you don’t hear from them for 36 hours. Hey [Name], just wanted to check in and make sure you received everything on your end? I know things can get busy, but I wanted to reconnect and see how you’re feeling about the offer and next steps. Let me know when you have a moment. Thank you. Hey Blake, I hope this message finds you well. Just wanting to touch base on how you're still feeling about the current job offer? Do you have any questions regarding the offer? Scenario B: You’re a week out from their start date. You check in and they say, “Honestly, I’m getting nervous — I’ve never done upscale dining before.” Totally get that feeling, it’s very normal. Anytime someone steps into something new, especially a more upscale environment, nerves are expected. Just remember, they didn’t choose you by accident. They intentional on picking you for your leadership, energy, and how you work with people. The technical side of upscale dining can be taught, but who you are as a leader can’t. No one expects you to know everything on day one. They’re aware of your background and are ready to train you. Focus on learning, asking questions, and getting comfortable, it’ll click faster than you think. Scenario C:Your candidate tells you they just got a second offer — $2K higher — for a job they interviewed for months ago and forgot about. “Thanks for being upfront and letting me know. I appreciate that. Stuff like this happens more often than you’d think. If you'll allow me to ask a couple quick questions so I can give you the best guidance. 1. How excited are you about that offer compared to the one we’ve been discussing? 2. Apart from the $2K difference, are there any meaningful differences between the two jobs? Maybe in role, growth, schedule, or culture? From what you’ve shared so far, the Trattoria Reggiano opportunity aligns very well with what you said you were looking for long-term, especially the move into a more upscale, full-service environment. A $2K difference is something we can certainly talk through, but I want to make sure we’re prioritizing the bigger picture: growth, exposure, and where you see yourself in the next few years.
