I applied for a non tech role in Nov via a referral. A recruiter reached out and advised the position was filled but they had another one (which I was interested in). In parralel the hiring manager emailed me for a coffee chat and we met up, agreed to loop. The first interview (face to face) happened the start of December and went well. I didn't hear back from the recruiter until mid Feb (I followed up numerous times) and she asked if I would like to continue the process (I said yes). We are now in April and I haven't heard anything, followed up again with the recruiter. I also saw the role I was suggested by the recruiter in December is now back on the Google careers page (it disappeared but back now, which is good I think as it's still open). I reached out to my refferal contact to help previously and he said to just wait Google takes 6 months. I re reached out yesterday and he's out the office until next week. I also reached out to the hiring manager in January but with no response (I asked him to push the recruiter to respond). Any advice as to what to do here? I really want this role and just want to complete the loop!
I think you put in a good try, but if they were interested they would have got back to you by now. My thoughts anyway.
