Had a recruiter follow up 4 times for a position and I ultimately decided to respond the last time to hear more about it for curiosity purposes—never heard back from them lol

I'm also curious how this works. I had one who said that he submitted my resume to a bunch of firms, but now I haven't heard from him. Can I reach out to those firms on my own now?

That's helpful, thanks! I think I'll reach out to a different recruiter.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
