How long should I wait to hear interview result? I have had over five rounds at a firm including rounds with senior management. The interviews went well. After following with hr, they say they are waiting for feedback on other candidates. Fair enough, but it has been almost a month and hr is not giving me final word on whether they want to hire or not. Any advice on what's happening here?

The hiring and finalization process can take a while, actually. Some places that are hiring more urgently will want to speed the process up often take only a couple weeks, but the process can take anywhere from 30 days to up to almost 50 days.

I would followup. there is no harm in doing so. The process sometimes is long and daunting. Some hires are taking anywhere from 1 day to 3-4 even 6 weeks. Good luck!

Thanks very much. Finally, HR did come back today after I followed up. Although I got good feedback, I am told that they decided to look for more senior candidates for now as they are building a new team. Tough luck!

You could always try and push things along by letting them know you've received other offers but they're your first choice, so you were wondering if there was any way they could provide a status.

Five rounds is ridiculous though??? I agree that following up is important in this case, and they should be able to give you an answer

I typically will wait a week. If I don't hear back in a week then I will send a follow up email just to check and see what the status is.

Apparently they now want much more senior candidate!

The best thing you can do is to send them a follow-up email. The process would typically take 2 to three weeks with 4 weeks maximum. I don't know why the employment process in this company takes so much time? 5 interviews and almost a month of waiting?

Just heard back from them. They apparently changed job requirement and now looking for much more senior candidate.
