This was a really interesting post, and I love how it’s generated so much debate in the comments! Especially as you said in your original post that hiring is subjective.

You ask how we would respond to your ad. I think I would ask for a little more detail, particularly with regard to the audience. I would want to know who I was designing for – also I think curiosity about the project (as shown by Person B) is always a good sign!

I agree, person A should have got the job. Person B reads like they’re belittling you and your project, where person A is clear and concise, as well as honest and up front with their schedule.

No question: Person A.

Judging from the above comments, it looks like Person A won’t have too much of a problem lining up future jobs (or is employed full-time already). Forthrightness goes a long way in the business community.
