HELP: Went through the final round of interviews recruiter said the team liked me and I got all “yes’s” to join the team… I just needed to talk to the hiring manager’s boss. Fast forward to a convo with the hiring manager he says he has all positive feedback and then my recruiter goes on vacation… she returns on Monday but said her colleague would contact me if there are any updates…it’s been radio silent for almost two weeks now. I fear I’ve been forgotten. WWYD?

Edit: the hiring manager’s boss said they liked me for another position and they just needed to discuss internally where I would best “fit”

Thanks A1! I asked the hiring managers boss if I was still in consideration for the role I applied for and his response was “the role I’m thinking about placing you in is better”

Is there nothing I can do in this situation except wait for my recruiter to get back? I feel like it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to follow up with the person that last spoke to me

Something semi-similar happened to me last year…i was led to believe an offer was incoming within the week - recruiter even suggested I reach out to some former colleagues who jumped shipped a few months earlier to ask them about “the onboarding process.” Crickets and absolutely stunned when I received the rejection. Moral of the story (for me at least) is never get your hopes up because these people don’t care.
