Had what I thought was a killer interview two weeks ago. Followed up with a thank-you, still radio silence. Is it too soon to despair, or should I assume I'm ghosted?

Same thing happened to me I assumed ghosted, went out and found two better offers, and the first guy came back around to say “I’m done with the first round of interviews do you want to come back in for a second?” To me that meant he prob made an offer and got rejected, or he is slow to hire. I had a few firms do this in the past and the one lady told me that they are so busy that sometimes hiring falls by the way side. I don’t think there is anything wrong with waiting a reasonable time and checking to see if the position was filled or if you’re still in the running in a polite way.

I would send an email with a general request for an update. Since it’s been two weeks you have nothing to lose

Sometimes they’re just slow. Send a follow up email expressing a continuing interest in the position and requesting an update. If you don’t get a response either way, I think it is safe to say that you just need to move on.

I was just going to say this. Sometimes emails get lost in the shuffle, voicemails don't get returned, etc. It happens. I would defintiely recommend sending atleast one more follow up email before assuming you have been ghosted. You might be surprised. I had someone reach out after a month to offer me the job.

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
