When the recruiter says to give them 24-48hrs for a response, does that sound like they are about to send you a rejection through the system?

Not always. Sometimes they want confirmation from the decision makers (e.g. team) to make sure with what they are going with, whether that be a rejection or an acceptance.

Sounds much better than most of my responses last year! Seriously though any time a business gives you a timeline it is never a bad thing. This means they are not into wasting your time and they may be adding you into their systems or doing last minute background checks. Stay positive!

Typically after a phone screen, we have to put together notes from the conversation and submit the candidate to the hiring team to see if they are interested in you. Sometimes that is quick and sometimes it isn't.

Metrics vary by company; I have worked at companies where we had a phone screen quota or an overall of # of hires per month but that obviously requires a lot of initial phone screens to get to the offer point.

Yep.

It sounds like you are a top applicant and they are preparing an offer. If they were going to reject you I don’t think they would be so specific as to when you would hear back from them.

I used to think giving timeline is good. However, per interview experience, they will say: “ sorry,we decided not to move forward with you this time.”
