Heard from recruiter that my onsite feedback was very strong and hiring manager thought I would be a great fit, but they went ahead with an internal candidate doing similar role with an adjacent team.

She mentioned that there is another very similar role open, and she will speak to the recruiter of that role about me. Has anyone seen that work or was she being nice? If not, I might as well apply to this new role online and give it a shot. TIA

This happens at all companies. Keep in mind that a recruiter is essentially a “salesperson for candidates” who ultimately needs to get good people into the company across the various job roles they are assigned to. Good luck!

Two weeks ago I went through exact same conversation with Google recruiter after I too interviewed for a Strategy & Ops role with Google Cloud ;) I would definitely listen to the recruiter and go for it.

In the past I was rejected by Google after final rounds for another role and not pulled jn to apply for another role right away so this experience was very different for me as well.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
