There are good recruiters out there, but they're the minority. I suppose that can be said of any field of work. Usually, it's the ones that are doing direct hires that are really responsive.

Sometimes...lots of ghosting out there. However, there are positive outcomes also. I recently had one where the HR mgr called me for initial interview and the interview with the hiring mgr occurred the following week.

As a hiring manager myself HR will do a prescreen interview before passing candidates me to select for interview. I’ll not select everyone for interviews and so HR should go back to those I have rejected. I might be waiting for more suitable candidates for I start my round of interviews or I might have a few days annual leave. So sometimes there is a delay. Just sit it out and wait and don’t take the wait personally.
Sometimes the senior management put on a hiring freeze and pull the role I’m recruiting for. It’s annoying for everyone not just the candidates as I need someone to fill the vacancy in my team but I am unable to.

RE: #1. Did you hear what you wanted to hear or did you hear what they actually said?

A common question candidates ask is: What's the interview process. So I describe it to them, but that does not mean I've committed to advancing them to next steps.

no, I heard what was actually said. Sometimes recruiter will say - manager will evaluate my comments and resumes and choose who will be interviewed, But in two recent interviews I was told manager already said he/she/they wanted me brought in for interview with them. But then delay, delay and ghost

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions. We talked then I sent him recommendation letters from my previous employers. He said that I should have an answer from them this week whether I get an offer or not. I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?

I interviewed with the client and it has been a couple of weeks since I’ve heard from the hiring manager (3 weeks since 2nd interview). I’ve already informed my engagement team. I was told that they would inform me if there was a decision made and I’ve known previously that the offering process at this company can take up to a month. Should I reach out again for status update or wait to hear back from hiring manager?

What should I expect for an upcoming meeting with a recruiter? The recruiter contacted me on behalf of a firm in my area.

I wasn’t initially looking to lateral, but this firm would potentially be a huge step up (from a local mid-size firm to a regional branch of an AmLaw 100 matched to Cravath pay scale). Is this recruiter meeting going to be like a mini interview? I am in totally new territory
