I went for 5 interviews meeting VP's, EVP's, Presidents, HR & the hiring manager and was offered the job, on paper. One issue which had been discussed with an EVP & HR was rather than a discretionary bonus, as national sales director a bonus based on asset growth is more aligned with their objectives & my preference. It was received positively & with enthusiasm. It seems they have changed their mind as far as I can tell as no one is phoning me back. Over the last 10 days I've contacted HR & the hiring manager with polite follow up messages - no replies. My references are pristine and include a bank president. They had a third party agency call to check - odd judgement call - but worse, my references felt they were uninformed & unengaged. The bank president gave a glowing recommend nevertheless. Clearly another candidate has appeared, cheaper & possibly better - I wish the best to the company & hope they get both...but this seems rude to me, is this standard hiring practice?
