If I can take a guess... Recruiters are over-excited sometimes. The recruiter told you that you passed. The recruiter told you that you should expect an offer.

If I can take a guess...
Recruiters are over-excited sometimes. The recruiter told you that you passed. The recruiter told you that you should expect an offer. The recruiter asked for and checked your references.
The hiring manager may have said very little to this recruiter to encourage this. We don't know whether it was "we're going to hire him" or "he's ok let's talk to a few more people".
So there may be a disconnect between Stripe and the agency they use to hire.
- danrocks 5y agoThe references were checked by the hiring manager. The congratulations were also extended by the hiring manager. So it’s hard to pin this on the recruiter. Also no agency was used, it was all internal.
- brown9-2 5y agoThis makes no sense. A company like Stripe has in-house recruiters. An external recruiter would never tell a candidate they referred they were hired without hearing it from the company first - as they’d be burned too many times by setting people up for disappointment, and it would destroy their reputation with the employer.
- crate_barre 5y agoMy take on what the recruiter did was that most of his/her prospects got flat out rejections and this guy didn’t - which is the most positive signal the recruiter could ascertain from their shitty hiring managers who can’t communicate properly.
