Job Seekers Share Experiences of Lengthy Interviews and Delayed Hiring Decisions
Two job seekers shared their experiences with lengthy and uncertain hiring processes on Reddit. One candidate cleared multiple interview rounds, including meetings with top executives, and prepared extensively for a final test before being unexpectedly rejected. Another candidate, with experience abroad, completed a director-level interview at a leading NBFC and awaited HR feedback beyond the promised timeline, expressing confusion over the delay. Both cases highlight challenges candidates face during extended recruitment procedures and communication gaps from employers.
