[quote=Anonymous]Our friends older son (mid-20s) has finished school and is looking to get into his chosen career field, which just so happens to be my husband's field. My husband stuck his neck out and put in a good word for him, and had his resume practically placed directly on the recruiters desk himself. The kid had multiple interviews and a (costly) background check. He was offered the job, but now he's not sure he wants it (entry level work/entry level pay - he thinks he will do better somewhere else. Salary WAS discussed in the beginning of the interview process.)

My husband is really upset. He wasted his time, and the recruiter and other  execs wasted their time (and money) on interviews, when they could have been finding someone else to fill the position.

He doesn't even know what to say to this young man, but feels he needs to say something. Where do you begin in thes situation.

(He hasn't told my husband he won't be taking the job, he told the recruiter he "probably won't" and "needs to think about it" because of the financial aspect, and the recruiter told my husband.)[/quote]
