Applied for a role I really wanted and feel like I decoded the signals wrong.
Hoping some recruiters can help decode it!
- Early March was phone screen + told “two weeks to hear back”
- 24 hours later i got set a technical task
- 24 hours after submitting it i got final interview booked
- Final interview with 5 technicals last 2.5 hours (was slated for 1.5-3 hours) & felt great
Post-interview was
- March 31: HR follows up asking for my job specific social profile (role is fitness adjacent). Three minutes after I sent the link, the team lead followed me on the platform.
- April 1: HR confirms will share everything with the team
- April 7 (Tuesday): I email mentioning a competing offer with a short deadline, but that this company is my top choice. HR replies in 80 minutes saying “we’re at the very end of our process, final answer by Thursday”
- Thursday April 9: Silence
- Friday April 10 (today): HR emails saying “process taking longer than expected, reviewing a high volume of candidates, update next week”
The job is still posted.
I think they made an offer to someone else and are waiting on their answer.
I have another final interviews next week but REALLY wanted this job, and will accept the offer I have (which I am not too enthusiastic about).
Wondering if anyone can shine a light of what’s going on, though, as it moved quick/felt positive until it kind of didn’t?
Feeling kind of bummed.
