Can you tell me why the hiring process is so slow for big companies??? It’s been like a month since I talked to the hiring manager and they said they’ll have me come in. They even reached out for my availability last week. Why is this whole process so painstakingly slow?!?!

I'm guessing it's a mix of red tape and incompetence. Someone forgets they were supposed to invite you in for an interview. Someone else wants to invite you in for the interview, but they have to get approval to do so first first. By the time that happens, they're busy with a million other things and forget. Etc etc.

I think they are busier than they need people. That's the only thing I can think of. Their HR is probably understaffed and they don't need new associates that bad.

It’s likely because there are many layers and everyone takes a few days to respond so it slows the process down

Bureaucracy. But also if it’s a big company, odds are they’ve received a lot of applications to sift through.

If they have lots of applicants it's trying to create their own availability for their roles too to free up time to do the interviews.

Big companies can move slowly because of multiple approvals, background checks, and coordinating schedules across departments. It’s frustrating, but often it’s not about you—it’s just bureaucracy dragging things out. A polite follow-up can help keep you on their radar.
