Just had last interview with hiring manager, and she said “It’s been great getting to know you. The recruiter will be back in touch.” Bad sign? Wouldn’t HR be the one getting in touch???? 😭

I think you’re reading too much into it. If their policies are to have the recruiter reach to you that’s totally normal. I didn’t have anyone in HR contact me for my offer - it was the recruiter. HR is who I dealt with once I accepted my offer. Unless you understand the structure of this organization take everything at face value.

Thank you! I want to work for this person so bad - she’s crazy smart and talented

Could be interpreted as “it’s been great getting to know you...AND...can’t wait get to know you more once we hire you!!” Hope that’s the case for you, OP. Happy weekend! 🐠

For what it's worth, I interviewed at a pharma company last year. Five interviews, including VP level. Director who was hiring specifically said I'd be told one way or another.

Ghosted. That was a hit to the old confidence.

That said, as others added, all of my offers have come from HR/recruiting, not the hiring manager. So I wouldn't read into that comment at all.

At my last 3 offers, always the recruiter gave me the offer at the end of the process. „HR“ only took over after onboarding (all experienced hire offers). Recruiters were also mostly part of the HR organization. Wouldn‘t worry about the wording here from the hiring manager 👍

The past two times I've received an offer it was through the recruiter I spoke to first as a way to close the loop so there's still plenty of hope! Best of luck!

I've had 8 jobs so far in my career and the recruiter was the POC for the offer for 7 of them, with HR being the POC for the one other firm.

Sounds fine to me.

Reading too much. At the end of the interview we interviewers often have no idea what the next step for you is or who will reach out to you so we make up words like recruiter or HR or someone.

Don’t overthink it.

Agreed, I wouldn’t read too much into it. In the few jobs I’ve had it was always the recruiter who called me about an offer. Also, it’s possible that she needs to debrief with the other interviewers before making a final decision so she just said something generic for the time being.

Biz owners/entrepreneurs: Any tips on how to answer questions where the interviewer would want to know why I’d want to work for a company if I have my own. I’d want to reassure them that I have no intentions of leaving their company for mine or that there wouldn’t be competing priorities between us. I have a small photography biz. When this came up in an interview how did you address it? On my resume it does show that I’m currently a photographer w/ my own biz. I was selected for an interview.
