[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anything left in the interview process or are you just awaiting an offer.

If the process is done, wait for an offer and then bring it up. Make it clear this was a very recent change in circumstances that you hadn’t expected, which is why you didn’t mention it before.

If there is still another round of something, I’d probably proactively bring it up. Send an email explaining you’re still very interested in the position, but since you initially applied you had a recent change to your family’s circumstances so that you can no longer move out of state. If it’s a complete dealbreaker then no one wastes anymore time. If they do really like you, then you come off as being forthcoming.[/quote]

This. I posted earlier that you should go ahead and tell but this is a better, more nuanced answer.[/quote]

Op here. I love this answer but there truly is nothing left remaining in the process. Also, there’s some aspects to their recruitment process that have made it difficult to know how to handle this. For example, I am not actually sure who the hiring manager is or who I will be reporting to (weird, I know). All my contact has been with an 20something recruiter outside of the actual face to face interviews. Also, those interviews were so formal and so one way (them vetting me as opposed to me vetting them) that I had almost no opportunity to raise my own questions. I feel like aside from the remote work issue, I have other substantive questions I need to get answers to. This has been a very odd recruiting process compared to other jobs I’ve applied to.[/quote]

NP and if it were me I would e-mail the recruiter and ask if they had a few minutes to talk about the position and then lay out your situation.  I think the personal touch of a call vs. an e-mail has the highest chance of showing your sincerity that you were ok with the position as presented but things changed with the passage of time.  I guess the risk is that recruiter just e-mails the hiring manager with "candidate wants remote now, k?" but there's no guarantee your nicely worded e-mail would be forwarded along either.

If you get an offer I would ask to speak with whoever you will be reporting to as you have a few questions and then you can see if its a good fit.[/quote]

This is a good plan. I recently recruited for a hybrid position where, like OP’s,  circumstances of the top candidate changed. Instead of being honest and forthcoming, she strung us along for weeks. We did not hire her and I would have appreciated being able to move on earlier. [/quote]
