callback cancellation etiquette
Should I wait until tomorrow to call or is it fine to send an email? I want to let the firm know ASAP. The interview isn’t until later this week, but travel arrangements have already been made. CDO wants us to call.

Re: callback cancellation etiquette
I always sent an email (mainly because I'm awkward and wanted to avoid confrontation). Something simple like "thank you for this opportunity, but I am currently considering other offers."

Re: callback cancellation etiquette
email is easier for everyone. No one will be offended; no one cares. There are plenty of other candidates and it happens with some regularity that CBs are cancelled.
TL;DR - email.

Re: callback cancellation etiquette
How about for declining offers? The hiring partner called to give the offer. I was thinking giving a call to the recruiting coordinator might be best. Don't want to waste hiring partner's time and email doesn't seem very professional.

Also do this via e-mail, so that there is a written record that you declined the offer.Anonymous User wrote:How about for declining offers? The hiring partner called to give the offer.

Re: callback cancellation etiquette
yep. and look, they're not gonna take it personally. there are maybe a handful of hyper-elite firms that have offer->acceptance yields of >50%. the recruiters at DPW or wherever are gonna spend the next month taking rejections. just be polite, email the recruiter and not the hiring partner, and no one will care/rememberAnonymous User wrote:Also do this via e-mail, so that there is a written record that you declined the offer.Anonymous User wrote:How about for declining offers?
