How long does it usually take to get a decision from a hiring manager? I went through 3 rounds of interviews for an ACD role: individual team member calls, hiring manager call, and was brought in to their office to meet the entire team.

This was 3 weeks ago and still nothing. Followed up via email last week and was told “we haven’t heard anything yet.”

Or waiting for visa approvals. I went through something similar earlier in the year. Turns out the CD was pushing to get his buddy hired from Brazil. I don’t know if the friend was a better candidate. Maybe he was, but they kept BSing me because they didn’t know if the agency was going to sponsor the friend’s visa. Long story short, agency recruitment practices suck.

Sounds to me like you’re a backup. You’re definitely not the recco. Move on in your head and keep looking. If they come through fine but you might have something else going on by then.
