Looking for some insight to this situation:

I have "final round" interviews next week for an internal data HR role at a consulting firm. First interview was behavioral, second was technical (excel skills). Both went well. For this round, I'm meeting with the head of talent and head of HR for 30 min each.

I'm wondering what types of questions I should anticipate. Any insight appreciated!

I had an introductory phone call with a recruiter last Monday. She asked me a couple of basic background questions, we discussed the role, and she said she would take the info back to the hiring manager and email me to set up an interview.

She asked me for times that work best for a first interview but it's been a week and I haven't heard back from her. Should I assume I wasn't selected for an interview?

I want follow up with an email but don't want to be overbearing/annoying.
