Can it really take over a week to make a decision about whether to invite a candidate for a callback after a screener? Has anyone experienced this? The firm said I would hear either way so I’m not taking silence as a rejection but nervous as to why it’s taking so long.

People could be away. Maybe they have a partner meeting once a week and they need to run it by everyone. Then they have to get HR involved. Yeah, it could take a while.

It’s Easter and spring break season in some parts of the US. They may still be doing screeners to decide who they want to call back. It can definitely take over a week to work through those issues (several weeks in fact).

Yes. When we are in the thick of recruiting it’s very common that we only make decisions in weekly meetings.

I’ve been applying creative roles at Ogilvy on the portal.

I then realised it’s. the same status for some previous roles I’ve applied, as long ago as March. How long do they usually take to get back? Or should I just consider myself rejected?

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?

I think I bombed a case interview with Chartis for an associate consultant position. The case was in excel and required me to manipulate the data via share screen with the interviewer. I couldn’t get some functions to work and was struggling to go through the 16 page PDF of data. I had several answers correct but needed to walk through the remaining questions with some guidance. My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
