Similar to what others have said: go to the business (the people in the team with whom you interviewed). Most HR people (and especially most recruiters) are low quality talent who are not held accountable and really don’t give a shit. Quite often, the actual hiring manager and team you’d be joining don’t even know that the candidate is having a horrible experience due to HR ineptitude.

No it’s not common. Usually it means they’re made multiple offers and are waiting on their preferred candidate, or waiting on Senior management approval. Not usually a good sign.

Thought behind asking this question is, in first call if we tell them that I have offer then they might not go with next rounds.

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
