Some agencies are more intense about their interview process than others. It’s usually a good sign. It means the agency vets everyone closely and if you’ve met with 5 people it means they’re interested.

I just saw someone on here earlier who said they had gone through 8 rounds. I honestly don't understand how it could possibly take that long to decide if a candidate is a good fit. It's excessive.

Yeah, some agencies take forever making a decision and have you interview a ton of people to see if you are the right fit. However, they could also just being keeping you warm while they continue searching

If you’re working on multiple accounts and/or they have a couple of roles open and they’re trying to figure out which group would be the best fit, then it makes a lot of sense.

It all depends. I’ve gone 7 rounds and wasn’t hired and gone 1 round and hired. Most the time they have no idea what they’re looking for

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
