I initially took a 30 minute assessment which was pretty straight forward. After that I had a phone screening with the recruiter and was recommended to the next stage. I then met over the phone on three separate interviews with managers in the company. They were tough interviews with high level managers who had a very deep background in Project Management and software. Finally, I was brought in for an in person interview at their new office in Denver. I was meeting with one of the managers I had met on the phone and interview was pretty much an in person review of the past 4 phone interviews. The questions were more related to the position specifically and logistics of starting the job. At this point I was fairly confident of getting an offer. The recruiter said I would be hearing back in about a week. 1 week went by without any communication, then 2 weeks. Finally on the third week she emailed saying they had been very busy and that I would take them another week before they could make a decision. Two weeks went by and I received a call from the recruiter asking me if I was still interested in the position and they would like to make me an offer. Here is where it turned a little strange, the recruiter explain that they would need a number from me and that they wouldnt be submitting a formal offer to me, just responding to my salary number. I explained that I wouldnt be comfortable accepting an offer unless I had a physical offer to review. She explained that they only present offers verbally and once you have accepted, they will send a physical offer. She also said every offer needed to be signed off by the CEO and thats why they need to know my number before making an offer. I politely declined the "offer".
