I am passively looking & had a screen for an exciting role last week (Thurs). The recruiter I’m working with reached out on Friday AM w/ super positive feedback, & said he’d be in touch later that afternoon w/ next steps. By Mon PM I still hadn’t heard from him. I reached out & he said he would have next steps by Tues at 11 am. Now it’s Thurs & I have heard nothing. I’m super annoyed at the recruiter but really liked the role- should I continue to reach out or call it?

Give it time. The recruiter messed up by not setting reasonable expectations up front, but if you really are excited about the job and you’re passively looking (no urgency to the search) you should let it sit. Sounds like you’ve made your mutual interest clear, so continuing to pester them for answers will probably sour the relationship more than help your candidacy.

Thank you! Appreciate the insight 😊

I'd give them a buffer of one week before reaching back out. It does sound positive, but like POP1 mentioned, it's likely a mistake on the part of the recruiter not setting reasonable expectations.

Thank you!!

Wait for a couple more days. It could be because of their heavy workloads. It happens sometimes.

I would continue to reach out. If you go a week without hearing back, reach out once more.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren
