3rd Interview

I was called back for a 3rd interview — this one is with the hiring manager and HR via Teams. First interview was with Hiring Manager, 2nd was with Hiring Manager and Vice President and now this one with HR. Any thoughts on what this one would be about? I’m guessing not my skill set or qualifications since HR is involved and I’ve had 2 lengthy conversations with the manager about those topics. Never had a 3rd interview pulling HR in. I don’t want to get my hopes up in thinking it’s an offer but honestly not seen this done before? Just want to hear others experiences so I have a general idea what I might expect ??‍♀️. Salary negotiation? Benefits discussion?

Could be anything. Could be to discuss an offer, maybe there are specific questions about your background, maybe letting you know what the process is moving forward. Don't overthink it and just go with it.

Since HR is involved, you are moving to a point where things like reference, credit, and background checks will likely come into play. It could also be about salary and benefits expectations. I believe this to be a positive sign that you are one of the top candidates for the job (at the very least).

I had similar experience where I met with HR as a 4th interview where they went over benefits, etc and I did not get offer because what I was told by hiring manager was different than what this HR interviewer was sharing with me, and to be more specific I was told role was hybrid 3 days in, 2 days remote by hiring manager with occasional 5 days onsite during busy period around the holidays. (Learning toy company) During HR interview she told me it was actually 4 days onsite hybrid, and I explained manager told me 3 days, and company was 1hr drive each way, so this was a definite talking point. Like I said I did not receive an offer and was told it was due to role changing to 100% onsite. It took them 2 wks of interviews with 5 different people before they had HR share with me. So irritating

You are definitely on the right track. I would think they will go over schedule in office v hybrid, salary and benefits and timing of background checks and start dates etc.

HR was involved in an interview I had since I was interviewing for a management level job. The questions were all behavioral, like give an example where you dealt with conflict, tell me about a time where you had an under performer and how you dealt with it, etc. Good luck!
