So the recruiter where I was interviewing called last Friday and said everyone really liked me; we talked salary and start dates. I was told an official offer would be over by EOD or early this week.

We all know how slow process driven things take at agencies. It takes time for all the right people to approve things, and putting out an offer is a very formal process. Just be patient and follow up every few days to ensure things are moving forward. If things drag out past a couple of weeks I'd be upfront with HR and say you are getting concerned and would like to know what the holdup is.

Guess it's time to go job hunting again. Honestly though would you want to work at place like this? I'd send an email to the manager you were supposed to work with, say you were told that you were work getting an offer letter but it never came so unfortunately you have to start looking for other positions. Also find out if you're in a state that allows you to record conversations without the others knowledge and record the HR person when they call back.

This is super standard. You'll get it. HR people always underestimate how long paperwork and admin stuff takes. I bet some vp or head of finance who needs to sign off on this is ooo on business.

I just had an interview last week for a job that wanted me to relocate and start in 2 weeks instead of the 3 weeks (already short) my recruiter requested because they're drowning. They told my recruiter that same day that they were going to make me an offer. I heard a few times since that it would be that day or the next and it wasn't. A week and a half later, I'm finally getting my offer tomorrow morning. Sometimes it just takes longer than they expect. Hang tight.

Radio silence from him his week. The recruiting coordinator told me, upon follow up, that is hear something yesterday.

It just need to pass through Finance approval. Those MFs will sit on it in eternity if they could get away with it - or even juuuust squeeze it into next month.

Thanks all. Excited to unplug for the weekend to get my head straight. You all helped!

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.
