I got a verbal offer from Deloitte after my interview and after a week of not hearing back. I emailed my Recuiter about the status and this is what I received “I am working with my internal project teams to get a staffing assignment lined up for you in regards to an offer. Sometimes this process can take a week or so more to sort out.” It’s been over a week from that email and still no official letter. What does that email mean?

Talent acquisition teams increasingly start processes prematurely ie before a specific role is vacant. They do this in functions with a certain level of semi predictable churn, or areas of high demand. Also, a bit like holding groups, before they can make an offer a business unit needs to have a specific role need and have approval to hire based on the macro economics of the business. It’s slightly hard to say based on your message but you’re either on the bench (they want you but don’t yet have an opening, and are working out if they can take you now), or they’re trying to get sign-offs on the hire from the hr/people team, the head of function and someone in management. It might only be a week, but I’d assume at least 2-3 as getting the above pinned down internally can take longer than people think, especially with summer vacations. They might keep you dangling for weeks on end ‘really sorry, we really like you, but still working on it’ whilst they wait for someone to hand in their notice. Be patient basically if you really want the role, do check in with them every week and a half, and be prepared that it might not actually materialise, for months, or even ever. Eg the incoming recession might make people who want to leave, sit tight, or because of tightening belts. I could be wrong, but that would be a nice surprise if the offer arrived in 1 week.

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
