They want you but aren’t sure if they can afford you.
A lot of companies/most holding co owned ones require proof of a certain billability level before they can get budget/hiring authorization for a billable role from finance
It can take as long as q1, in my experience.
And if the client can’t afford you( ie: the staff plan being discussed) then the agency can’t afford you.
Currently at agency where 2 large SOWs still have not been signed, but started interviewing beginning of January. Cant hire until the SOWs are signed, but we wanted to have great (not just good) candidates when we can pull the trigger. Dont give up, stay in contact.
It’s vague BS. I don’t think they’re lying about liking you. But in my experience, it’s their way of keeping you chasing their bait. It’s true that agencies have to wait to see the budget before hiring. It’s just that the funding may come in a week, a year, or never. Stay in contact with them...they do like you...but keep your options open.
