I spoke to a bbg recruiter on Wednesday and haven't heard back yet.. how long is it taking nowadays? Are the recruiters really backed up or something? I'm also seeing ppl on here interviewing with teams that don't seem to have any listings on the careers site. If I don't get to move forward with this team, should I ask recruiter to see if any other HMs are interested? By any chance any HMs here that are hiring backend swes? I have diverse backend exp in microservices/api development, batch and stream processing, etc yoe:5 tc:0 (laid off in august)
Most open positions are not even listed externally now. Our recruiters are being very targeted about who they reach out to and put forward for roles. The market got flooded with candidates, so this is the new approach.
I see. Would my recruiter consider me for other teams if one hm decides not to advance me to the phone screen round?
Depends on why they decided to not advance you. If it is because you didn't meet the bar then no. If it is because your skills or experience are a better match for a different team then yes.
Just curious. It was a lot easier to get a job in August last year. Did you wait before you started applying to companies?
yeah i had some personal shit to deal with so
It's unfortunate. Good luck with the search. Hope you find something good.
