How do I let an employer know to hurry up with their decision since I have already been offered another position? [duplicate]

Question

I have recently interviewed at two companies, and one of the companies has given me and offer which expires in 2 weeks. The other company (I want to work for this one), has still to make a decision.

I don't want to let go of the other offer in the case that if I don't get to work with the company that I want, I still have the other one to secure.

I want to let this company (the one I want to work with), know that they only have 2 weeks to offer me a position, or I will have to accept the other role.

What can I send the HR?

I want to say something like this to the company HR:

I have recently been offered a position at company B, which I must choose to accept or decline within a 2 week period. Please let me know if you have considered me for a candidate or not

Just explain that you have an offer at another company, and you have to make a decision soon. They will understand what it means in relationship to their company.

If they have gone far enough in their interview process, have pretty much reached a decision, and want you badly enough, they will try to speed up their offer. Otherwise, they will wish you good luck with your job.

This is okay, but you have to be ready to make your decision if they say something like "We are considering you as a candidate, but we cannot make our final decision in the next 2 weeks."

I've been the hiring manager in situations like this. Sometimes the timing just isn't right and you have to decide between a real offer and one that may or may not actually happen.
