[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied for a job over 6 weeks ago (job posting had been live for around 4 days when I applied). I heard nothing until this week, when I was invited for interview. I had assumed I wasn’t in the running for this job anymore based on the length of time since I applied. Why did it take 6 weeks? I assume their top candidates declined? Or something else? [/quote]

Likely that they had other candidates in the funnel that didn’t make the cut through the progressive interview rounds. So the recruiting team went back to the well. I have 5 candidates at the top of an IT funnel right now. I’ve vetted their resumes and they are a good match for the job. However I have one candidate in final round interviews this week. And two more behind him if he doesn’t pan out. IF for some reason any of the three aren’t selected for the role, I’ll go to that group of 5. If I do, it will be after Spring break and they applied late February. It’s just what happens in the recruitment process. [/quote]
