You know, I really like things to be nice and simple and easy and polite. So we make a "we're going to offer" gesture to the guy we've picked, who survived a couple rounds of interviews and a technical test....
...and he tells us that he doesn't think he's a "fit" for the job and really only wants to work in C++, not plain C, or on the stuff we're doing, but he knows some people whose experience might suit and he'll have them send their resumes in.
Ack. According to C., who called him, he said he didn't have any other offers either.
Well, at least he told us, but couldn't he have told us before I wasted time making an offer?
The second-choice candidate was really pretty good, so as long as he hasn't taken a position elsewhere, we're golden. Which we'll work on tonight and tomorrow. Eek.
