What’s happening internally after the final round of interviews and before an offer gets extended? And how long does it usually take?

There are so many factors. Right now budgets are in flux. One day it’s an open role, the next ❌ it’s closed. And things are taking muuuuuch longer to approve. Be patient. Things are weird.

The hire and pay needs to be approved by HR. Once approved, the offer should be extended. Sometimes this can take a while if they are trying to find budget from somewhere to match a requested salary.

Usually depends on size of the agency and whether they’re owned by a holding company. Independent stop here. Our process: Recruiter submits hire info for approval to Finance/HR/Ops. Once approved, offer made. If you’re interviewing at a holding company agency, it can take a lot longer because that’s another layer of approval. I had plenty of offers approved by my agency and denied by the holding co. Sometimes it’s quick, but it can also take weeks. I can imagine that in this climate, it’s probably not the quickest.

That's like asking "how long is a string?" It depends on internal processes and it often takes as quite long in many instances.

There are approvals to be secured, references checked, back channel checking (your social media, people who you didn't give as references who the hiring manager or someone else knows) and more.

Don't let it build up in your head or get overly anxious. It helps to clarify the time thru internal or external recruiters like my firm.

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
