Recruiters WHY ARE THERE SO MANY INTERVIEW ROUNDS?!! Is this new? In all my previous roles there have been 3 or 4 interview rounds. Im currently interviewing and I’m on round 8! This is absurd

Wow, eight rounds sounds exhausting! Some companies have really layered processes now, especially for tech roles. It can feel like overkill, but they’re usually trying to get multiple perspectives before deciding.

I think this is a good point. One challenge companies face during interviews is making sure the people involved in the evaluation are actually available. It might be that there were no overlapping time slots in their calendars, or that multiple teams will be working with your role and they all need to provide feedback. To me, though, this is telling: you should expect some chaos and disorganization.

8?? Good lord!

I have no idea why!’

I can understand that hiring is a risk, but 8th round sounds too much, really. What role are you interviewing for?

The most I’ve gone is the fourth interview. I decided that if they asked for a fifth, I wouldn’t continue. I guess in today’s market, sometimes we just have to endure these long, annoying processes.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time.
