I’m so confused by a recent job rejection. My interviews with the team went well, and the CEO even told me she couldn't wait to work with me. Then, out of nowhere, I got a generic rejection email. Today, I saw who they hired on LinkedIn, and she has about half my experience. They were hiring for two identical roles, so they had room for both of us. Why would a company do this? It's so frustrating.

Probably Called your pass employer and they said something bad about you

Unfortunately that could be the reason, although it is illegal to do but hard to prove.

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. I hate to suggest this but maybe they got the other person for less money. Unfortunately the company doesn't have to give a specific reason for not going with you. Hopefully your next interview will result in you being hired.

You are not the only person that is frustrated. If that helps. That sounds stinky. Good luck to you.

So I’m engaged in an interview process for a top FinTech company. It started the 1st week of August and just now I’ve gotten word from my recruiter that they didn’t update on any decisions made. I had my 3rd & final interview last Friday. My recruiter doesn’t communicate well nor does she let me communicate with the company direct. May I being led on? Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

My husband repeatedly claims domestic abuse falsely, and it’s getting too much. Now that I have kids he has started saying this to them and they say it back to me.

I just accepted an offer in writing. The new job will start the background check next which I’ve been told it may take a while to complete.

I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?
