One would have thought they would get this approved FIRST before interviewing! It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out!Originally posted by unixman View PostIf client A has not obtained sign-off for hiring, why are they even interviewing ?Last edited by MasterP0; 16 June 2015, 12:32.Comment

I would make sure that Client A knows you have another offer and that you are waiting on them, but can only wait so long. It's amazing how fast things move once they realise they might lose something they want and you being in demand makes you seem even more like the thing that they want.Comment

This.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostHave any of them actually made you an offer? If not the you've no decision to make yet. If offer B is waiting for your acceptance then you could accept subject to the results of of a contract check and get them to send it over. Can take 5 days to get it checked so you've bought yourself some breathing space. If something else comes up advise B you reject as the terms of the contract are unacceptable. He won't be happy but you haven't done anything wrong up to this point.
I don't see any dilemma really - you take what's on offer, subject to a contract being agreed. If A doesn't come back in time, then you take B. If you want to wait for A then you turn B down.Comment
