Looking for suggestions...
I have a job at a nonprofit organization (A) where I have worked for almost one year. The person who previously held my position has moved to another organization (B) and is interested in hiring me (I approached him about a vacancy, not vice versa). While I may well turn out to be the most qualified candidate and I really want the job, there is some reluctance on the part of employer B to hire me due to concerns about how it will be perceived by
employer A (stealing employees, etc.). We all work together on a regular basis in a fairly small field.
I am looking for suggestions about how to minimize these issues to my new employers' satisfaction and get hired! I've offered to make clear that I was not recruited by B, but pursued this on my own initiative. I'm willing to stay with A until they find someone to replace me to make the transition smoother or work part time in each place for a while. I've thought about quitting my job at A, waiting a couple of months and then going to B, but that seems somewhat contrived (and risky). Any advice/ideas?
Thanks!
