Lesson Summary

Before the final round interview, it's important to have certain conversations with the candidate to prepare them and gauge their interest. Here are the key points to cover:

• Find out where the candidate is in their interview process and if they have any other final on-site interviews scheduled.
• Ask about their favorite companies so far and where they would rank your client compared to others.
• Inquire about their plans for accepting an offer and when they are hoping to start.
• Ensure they have everything they need for the final round and provide any last feedback or assistance.
• Go over salary expectations again and make sure they align with the candidate's needs.
• Remind the candidate that you are on their side and will negotiate well if they interview well.
• Wish them luck and let them know you want to hear how it goes.

Throughout the process, it's important to maintain a pre-closing mindset, pump up the candidate, and show that you care about their career success. Openly discussing their interviews can help build trust. Remember, the goal is to create a positive experience for the candidate, regardless of whether they choose your company or not.
