Last november 2022 I got a linkedin message from on of the mckinsey recruiter in my country to apply for a position. I applied along with 10 other folks. As time went on we had our interviews and case study sessions and by the end of it only 5 candidates made it to the last round. Now in October 2023 after much delay, the recruiter reached out to all 5 candidates and asked for their salary slips. One candidate out of the 5 have gotten an offer one week after asking for the salaries while the remaining 4 have got nothing yet, no offer no rejection. Just wanna know, if the rest of the 4 candidates should still have some hope or should they believe that they are automatically out of the race ? Generally in cases of batch hiring like this, are offers extended first or rejection emails ?
Hey, does it ever happen that candidates are rejected even after their salary slips have been asked for ?
