A small desk beacon that glows green when the panel has time for the interview, the debrief, and the offer sign-off. It has not turned green yet. Not because anyone is avoiding the search, but because the role was approved by people whose calendars were booked solid the moment it became a priority.
The beacon does not blame anyone. It simply waits, the way you do, for the half hour that was supposed to be the easy part.
Switch on after the brief is signed. Glance at it between the four reschedules. Lower expectations to match the light.
Part of The Waiting Room Collection, for recruiters trapped in the eternal loop of approvals, briefings, and meetings about meetings.
