I like your approach and I think it really makes the process much better. However, this one thing stands out to me:
> I acknowledge that it is long [...] and say that we value their time.
I dislike this communication style. Maybe it's a cultural difference. I've heard several times from an American speaker that they "value my time/comfort/satisfaction". At the same time their act clearly showed that they valued something else much more.
For me, your sentence would sound much more personal if you just omitted this last part and kept only the explanation.
- Tempest1981 5y agoAgreed. It's more like: > I acknowledge that it is long process, so we appreciate your patience.
- gorpomon 5y agoI'll keep that in mind. My original comment didn't quite clarify, but when I say those things I make an effort to not come across as insincere or like I'm reading a canned statement. Also, I try and clearly say what I value-- which is both of us learning more about each other and figuring out if them joining us is a good fit. And I encourage them to assess if we're a good fit for them too. I often talk to candidates before making an offer about the trade-offs of taking our role over roles at differently-sized companies.
- krab 5y agoNice, I like the way you think about it. And take my comment with a grain of salt, please. It's impossible to judge the full context over an internet discussion with a stranger. :-)
