Am hearing about very similar behavior from them in the Middle East region too. Not great to be honest.

Fingers crossed for you.

Hi there,

First off all, sorry to hear you've been given the run-around like this. Not great form!

While I firmly believe we can't count ourselves out unless we're actually told so (you never know), I will be honest and say it doesn't look great. They should have completed the interviews by now.

There is still hope in that they've probably made an offer to a candidate and are waiting for him/her to accept (if they don't for another firm, you may be next in line). This is conjecture of course, but I've seen this happen.

If I were you I'd actually try to reach them via phone as a followup.

Fingers crossed for you.

Hi there,

Unfortunately some firms don’t keep a structured followup process for candidates. This is what I would recommend:

1. Send a new email (now it’s 2 weeks, so totally fine to followup)
2. If they don’t reply, call them after one week
3. If applicable: start to network with other firms for a backup option. You can find some tips on networking here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/hey-everyonehope-all-is-well-3176

Hope this helps,

Sounds very unproffesional of HR tbh

Hey there,

Overall very unprofessional behavior. Based on the updated email, I would say that you are not yet rejected and their process is ongoing.

Nonetheless, based on their lack of professionalism and treatment I would also be on the lookout for other opportunities.

Cheers,

Florian
