Haven’t heard back from a recruiter after being told they would arrange an interview. Am I potentially being ghosted? I’ve typically heard back immediately with a scheduled interview at this point in the process. It’s almost been a week.

I’ve been experiencing reallyyy slow turnaround times from start to finish. Not sure if it’s because a lot of companies were on hiring freezes at the end of their FY and hiring even in the new FY is slow, idk. Under a week though I wouldn’t be concerned at all. It took me over 3 weeks to get interviews scheduled and I got an offer. It was stressful lol but I think it’s just a sign of the times.

No this happens a lot. There is nothing wrong with reaching out to the recruiter too.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
