>Get a response from recruiting team.
>Email back and forth with this person for a week and set up a phone interview.
>Phone interview goes very positively. I have great answers for all the questions they ask. They seem very responsive. They talk to me like I've already got the job and we're just smoothing out the details.
>Say they'll contact me next week to set up an in-person interview.
>They contact me again, but instead of setting up an in-person interview I got this response:

>Hi, sorry for the delay. We are currently reorganizing our sourcing team and re-evaluating all open positions. We will have an update for you in 3 weeks.

So, this means I'm out of the running right? What else could re-evaluating all open positions mean? Although, if they're just not going to hire me, why tell me to wait three weeks?

This fucking sucks. After that phone interview went so well I thought for sure I was going to get this job. I've been unemployed for six months. I need a fucking job now. If I'm still in the running, I could wait another three weeks. But it's still bullshit.

I've had a few businesses do this to me. It means they want to keep you interested in the position, because the position still might be for you, but they need time to consider other candidates and/or hiring quotas.

The best advice I can give you is to let them know that you can wait the three weeks, but you'll need an answer by then because there are other companies more than willing to hire you on the spot.

I'm not responding to myself. These two posts are meant to be taken together.

Thanks. I already responded to them in what I think was a pretty positive way but I didn't say anything about other companies willing to hire me on the spot.

If they contact you again, you may want to mention it. Otherwise, they will string you along because they may sense your desperation. Play it cool, keep it positive, but continually hint that your time is valuable.
