Just finished an interview with Guidehouse. The Director informed me hiring has substantially slowed down. In addition, it seems like they’re increasing the amount of interviews for each position.

Why waste time by interviewing more candidates if you’re slowing hiring down?

Interviewing candidates more. Sorry, there’s a limit on this thing.

Yes, had an industry interview and got the same feedback - hiring has slowed; we need to learn more to decide next steps.

Public. Cybersecurity.

It may be that they think you might be a fit so they are having you meet with different groups and teams to see where you would fit. Much better than one interview and done, if you’re looking for a job...

What makes you think they are increasing the amount of interviews per position?

Interviewing candidates more. I interviewed with 3 people already. Now they want me to interview with 2 more. GEESH!

I just interviewed with 6 different people in the past week with them.

What! That’s unnecessary in my opinion. Did you get the job?

As unemployment goes up, firms get to be more selective about who they hire. I'm not surprised to hear you are being scrutinized more now than applicants were when unemployment was near 3%.

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

Hi guys! Had a call with a recruiter and they asked for my email to send me the link to apply. Haven’t heard since the initial call, thinking I might have failed the screening call. Would that deter you from applying online? For context, recruiter reached out first and the company was not on my radar before. After some research I got interested, but haven’t articulated that clearly enough on my call (didn’t expect I was going to be asked questions and thought I would just hear about openings).
