The interview process was long and delayed. The branch is in need of a professional with deep experience in rebuilding. Identifying deficiencies and implementing plans and standard operating procedures. I participated in three interviews spanning over a month. All three had glowing feed back. Each interviewer stated they were on a fact finding mission and had no authority to make hiring decisions. At the end of the process the senior manager put in his notice, leaving the branch in need with no management. This was causing a hold on the hiring process.
