You found the best looking candidate for Steve's Systems Analyst role with Charter. Problem is, another recruiter in Ohio submitted them to a different role yesterday. The best approach from here would be which of the below.

1. Wait until the ownership rule is up. The other recruiter is likely to submit the candidate themselves and leave you with no candidate and take advantage of your find.

2. Create a secret duplicate profile under a create but similar name so you don't forget. 

3. Call the other recruiter on Teams and ask if you could get the candidate in play for this role and only this role. Also, that the candidate can finish out the original IV first before deciding on either one. 

4. Continue looking for other options. There is likely another candidate out there and that should be my first thought before bothering other recruiters on candidates they currently own.

Option 3.

Whatever the reason, only having 2 movies has the audience feeling caged.

Given these innuendos, What movie series needs a 3rd installment?
