Interviews got over and the recruiter told that the feedback are positive and looks really good. He said he will get back with final debrief comment on a specific day (that day passed 4 days ago) - then he zoned out. No updates from him. Should I wait or move on or reach out (unlikely)? Is Uber still hiring - insiders? Blind tax: TC - 1C (India) #software #engineering
1C in India? YoE?
10 YoE
This happened to me 10mo back with other companies. All those companies now have massive layoff and hiring freeze. Just having job listings up to give illusion of growth is pretty common.
We are not in hiring freeze, but neither do we have that many open headcounts either. A lot of interviews are done now to make recruiters look busy so they don’t get laid off. Even after you passed the debrief with a hire, they need to match a team with headcount for you which might be a challenge.
My org (non Eng) has hiring freeze, unexpectedly and unannounced all hires (incl ongoing) we’re cancelled. Candidates were told that we already filled the position lol.
My buddy took 3 months to get the final offer after they provide verbal offer.
They might be intaking other candidates. it took us several months to sign a person on our team recently
Why wouldn’t you reach out to them to check in?
The speed at which the communication was flowing was great, but it just came to a stand still. Not sure if it was due to hiring freeze. Didn’t want to look desperate
