It’s been 3 weeks since i was flown in for an inperson interview that looks very promising. The team was very excited for me to join. But i haven’t heard back from them since, just the recruiter who replies occasionally saying they’re having internal meetings to discuss next steps. I wrote a thank you note to the recruiter after i left, who is my primary contact. Should i be worried things are chilling off? Is there anything else i can do? Should i write/ thank the hiring manager directly?

Move on… this tells me they make decisions slowly within the organization. This happens often when they open a role too soon without understanding the strategy of the business and how it relates to the position. There is likely some kind of disagreement that likely has little to do with you rather the direction of the role.

I'd think they can't make a decision and it's a huge red flag. You still might get the job (slight chance) but it tells you about how things are done there

It sounds like you’re uncomfortable with the ritual but you address it to him, the hiring manager you interviewed with.

If you really want the job, I would send the recruiter a 3 month business plan. This business plan would include what value you can bring to the company. In addition, this can include previous project, successfully venue added etc. If I were you I still would continue looking for additional employment. If all fails, you can still have the business plan to set you apart for future opportunities. Send this to the hiring manager and recruiter

Why would you write the recruiter a thank you note? They're not the one deciding if you're hired.

like

Three weeks is a long time to wait to send a thank you message.

Let it go. If it looks around it will. They’re decisioning, any amount of anxiety over the issue won’t get you any closer to the goal post.

like

it s possible they hired someone else and waiting for day 1 for that person to join.

i would do 2 things:
1) send thank you email to hiring manager
2) continue looking

I would definitely follow up with the recruiter to get clarity. “Hi xxx, it’s been a few weeks so wanted to circle back on any progress for the xxx role. I felt a real connection with the hiring team and am excited about ( list details of the role talked about w/ the hiring manager). Do we have any further developments or timelines for this role? I have other opportunities floating, but want to prioritize my commitment to xxx company as I would tackle this role with passion. Hope to see we are aligned.”
