So about a month ago I had a recruiter contact me and setup a date and time to discuss the job. Little did I know it ended up being a phone interview that I felt went really well. I was asked questions that lead me to believe I had secured a position like “when can you start? “Would you like to be direct hire or contract?” “What are your salary expectations?” I was then told my resume would be forwarded to the hiring manager where it should only be a few days before hearing something back. Fast forward to today and it’s been silent. I’ve followed up with an email and a phone call. Did I get ghosted by a recruiter or should I still cling to the hope of getting a job? Has anyone experienced an extended amount of time before they received an official offer?
