I am feeling a bit low today got another rejection call. I am seeking a strategic SR HRBP/ Director role while I do get interview calls, even go through 8-9 rounds of interview it’s not culminating into a offer. Through out the process I have been confident going from one round to the other as I know my own ability, interviewed with some good companies Anthem, Optum, Nordstrom....what am I doing wrong? I wish someone would tell.
How do I get the attention of the decision maker any leads please.

Hi OP, I totally understand where you are coming from, especially when you get the rejection with no feedback. If you could do a role play with someone you know in the field it might help. Sometimes we don’t realize we telegraph certain things that can raise unnecessary flags. And I find that interviewers can seem somewhat unforgiving these days, so it might help to run through a mock interview. I’d also inquire if there was any feedback to help you make adjustments where you may be able. Sometimes recruiters are cool if they’ve built a relationship with you and will give you a tidbit. I hope this helps. Just know you aren’t alone❤️

Thanks

Just remember there’s likely only one of this position at a company. The higher you go up the ladder, the tougher it is. Sometimes people forget there are more than one generalist, etc… easier to get hired. And 8-9 interviews tells me they have way too much process (can be code for a lot of red tape) and too many people with a ‘say’ in the decision. You may have been the winner not being selected. Just my honest opinion.

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.
