Took me over a month. Think they might be sending out invites in batches

Got it. There were just a lot of posts here about invites the day I got one so assumed they might have been sent out in a batch

Did you get a referral email? Or did someone say they referred you?

Nice. I was contacted by a recruiter who wants to have a call next week and I was a bit confused since I had not applied online at all. Just shared my CV in a cold email with a Partner.

Good luck! Time varies so don’t consider yourself out of the running. Do keep in mind - a referral does not mean you will get an interview. Have referred some folks previously and some got interviews and others have not

I reached out to someone for a referral, and they also provided me with the referral for the same. I applied to the job role the same day, and it's been two weeks since then. I have not received any response or email from them. The job I have applied for is administrative assistant, so I don't know if the recruitment process may be different from the consultant role.
