Scenario: Team-Match Stall After Panel
Context
- You passed a company-wide panel in late February for a Data Scientist role.
- First team-match meeting failed. Two more team meetings occurred on Monday and Tuesday.
- By Friday, the recruiter reports no responses and says both teams are still interviewing others.
Task
Design a 14-day plan that:
- Maintains momentum across multiple recruiters without appearing pushy.
- Sets explicit escalation triggers (e.g., when to involve a director).
- Defines a follow-up cadence with message templates and proof-of-value artifacts.
- Decides when to broaden outreach versus wait.
Provide concrete timelines, decision criteria, and risks relevant to a Data Scientist role.
