Additionally, keep in mind the Rule of 3.  It is in your best interest to always operate from the Rule of 3 – which is to have at least 3 candidates interview on every position, and have every candidate in front of at least three opportunities.  Why is that important?  On the client side, it will give your client a strong benchmark and therefore strong level of confidence in their ultimate hire.  If they interview only one candidate, they might have a concern that they haven’t done their due diligence before bringing this one and only person on board.  You want to make sure that you are giving this client several individuals that are qualified to perform in this role.  Having three candidates in process with your client will also avoid you putting all your eggs in one candidate’s basket – and if for whatever reason one individual pulls himself from consideration, you still have several viable candidates in process.  On the candidate side, you want to make sure you are giving your candidate a high level of comfort as well that they have done their homework when evaluating their next move.  Even if this candidate was not looking to explore other opportunities initially, there is a natural tendency once a candidate starts considering one opportunity that they become curious as to “what else is out there”.  Make sure you are giving them several options to evaluate, even if it’s purely used as a benchmark against your initial client – so they have a higher level of satisfaction and closure when making that final decision.
