I've been in discussions with an agency for 3 months and have already had 5 interviews. While I'm happy that I'm still being considered for the position - this is getting kind of ridiculous. Is this normal?

NO!!! 3 Months & 5 Interviews??? Who’s next? The f’ing nightly cleanup crew? If it were Amazon, then maybe bc they are ridiculous in their hiring practices. RUN AWAY! Find another agency.

My husband is going through the same thing. Perhaps you’re both interviewing for the same job! IMO, this speaks to an agency that is not ready to hire. A bit of kicking the tires until work comes in to support the role. If it were me, as I tell my husband, don’t expect anything, keep moving forward with other opportunities.

It's not normal, but it's safe to say weird scenarios like that are becoming normalized. Organizations will interview people forever and then just ghost them. It's bizarre. It's probable the agency really doesn't know how to proceed, and they're just killing time, waiting to see if we're going to be forced into a recession or not. Actually, that may be giving them too much credit for forethought, it's possible they're just hopelessly confused.

You surpassed ridiculous 2 months and 2 interviews ago.

It’s a clear sign that they have no idea what they’re doing and of how miserable it will be to work there.

Keep actively looking with the goal of never having to accept a job from them.

I did 5 interviews with 8 people over a month and in the end they said they found someone that was a better fit. I would keep on actively looking.
