Just got reached out to schedule a third-round interview for an Associate Director role I applied for. It's been a little over two weeks since my second interview. Feeling cautiously optimistic, but the lag had me wondering if I'd been ghosted. Anyone else experience a similar delay between rounds, and did it end up going well?

This has become something of the norm in my experience. Timelines are lagging worse than ever right now. My guess is because of the flood of applicants every job receives. There are so many people out of work that each listing is hyper competitive. With so many interviews to conduct and candidates to weed out, this kind of delay kind of makes sense, annoying and frustrating as it is for all of us trying to find work.

Thanks. The applicant flood is real. Recruiters are probably drowning in resumes, and internal coordination seems slower too with approvals, scheduling panels, holidays, you name it. It sucks for us on the candidate side because the uncertainty is brutal, especially when you're juggling multiple processes or out of work.

Scheduling and going through approvals can take some time. Two weeks out isn’t bad, but I know we’ve all been burned before, so easy to think that way. You got the call regardless. That’s not a bad sign.

Yeah, totally!, the fact that they circled back after two weeks is actually a pretty solid green flag. If they were on the fence or leaning no, most places just let it fade into ghost territory these days.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
