If you check my LinkedIn profile, I recently started in my current role and am not looking for an immediate move. I take commitments seriously and would like to grow in my current role. However, I highly appreciate the opportunity and would like to keep in touch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /templates/too-junior-role.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Hi, thanks for reaching out. I believe that I'm a bit far into my career to consider this position. Feel free to take a look at my LinkedIn or personal website to better understand the type and seniority of the roles for me. I'll be happy to connect and stay in touch for future opportunities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /templates/unrelated-job.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Hi, thanks for reaching out. While I appreciate this great opportunity, I don't believe that my skills and experience match up for this role. Feel free to take a look at my LinkedIn or personal website to understand my career interests/goals. I'll be happy to connect and stay in touch for future opportunities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /templates/lack-salary-info.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Hi, thanks for reaching out and mentioning this exciting opportunity. In respect of our time, I would like to know the compensation details, especially the salary range, for this role. Without this information, I could not dedicate time to the preparation and interviews. Thanks again for understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /templates/lack-job-description.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Hi, thanks for reaching out and mentioning this exciting opportunity. Could you please point me to the job posting for this role? I'd like to read the job description to better understand the role and the responsibilities. Without this information, I could not dedicate time to the preparation and interviews. Thanks again for understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /templates/exploding-offer.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Hi, thanks for the offer letter. I have one concern about the timeframe. You mentioned that this offer explodes in 48 hours. I'm afraid this doesn't work at all for me. I'm currently wrapping up my interview process at a few other companies, which is likely to take me another week or so. So I'm going to need more time to make an informed decision. 2 | 3 | The next company I join will be a big life decision for me, and I take my commitments very seriously. I also need to consult with my family/friend/mentor. There's no way that I can make a decision I'm comfortable with in this short amount of time. 4 | 5 | Please allow me two weeks from today's date to accept the offer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) 2 | 3 | # recruiter-response-template 4 | 5 | Your time is limited and valuable.

My colleagues wrote [an excellent piece](https://thenewstack.io/youre-doing-it-wrong-recruiting-a-devrel/) on the challenges of the first DevRel hire. Could you please give this a read and get back with your thoughts on the questions posed there? In particular, I'd like to understand: 2 | 3 | 1. Why does your company need a developer advocate? 4 | 5 | 2. How do you see a developer advocate being different from a sales engineer or a solutions engineer? 6 | 7 | 3. Do you have a developer marketing strategy defined? What are reasonable KPIs for DevRel at your company? 8 | 9 | 4. Do you see the first DevRel building their own team in the future? If so, what are the success metrics for the team to grow beyond the first DevRel hire? 10 | 11 | I know that I'm throwing a lot of questions at you. But this is only because I'm passionate about the work I do and I take my commitments very seriously. 12 | 13 | Thanks for understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | MIT License 2 | 3 | Copyright (c) [2022] [Dewan Ahmed] 4 | 5 | Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy 6 | of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal 7 | in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights 8 | to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell 9 | copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is 10 | furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: 11 | 12 | The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all 13 | copies or substantial portions of the Software. 14 | 15 | THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR 16 | IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, 17 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
