Hi guys,
I'm a final round candidate (EP) at one of the tier 1 firms. Recently, I got an invitation from my recruiter to have a 'free talk' with a staffing manager at the office which I applied to (the one who will map me to projects if I get hired eventually) about the case staffing process and discuss about my background before the final round interview. According to the recruiter, it's just a casual chat, not a fit interview and has no implication on the recruitment outcome.
I'm perplexed why the firm does so before giving out the offer. Is it a common practice? Anyone out there has similar experience?
Best,

Thanks guys! Turned out, it was an informal Q&A with the regional staffing manager to understand my personal goals and expectations on future projects. And the final round well went for me. Managed to convert it into an offer! — Anonym A am 22. Sep 2019
