Hi All,
Recently, I completed the technical and managerial rounds at an IT global services company. After that, HR asked me to send my last three months' salary slips and offer letters (previous and current). It's been more than a week now (10 days), and the client has not approved the process to move forward. After client approval, there will be an HR round for salary negotiation. I am urging HR to follow up with the client, but she mentioned that we can't do that.
The client is from the US and is initiating a new project for which they are hiring 50 people. I don't understand why it is taking so long. HR initially mentioned it would not take more than a day, but now she is unsure about the delay.
What can I do? My anxiety levels are increasing day by day as I have put months of effort into reaching this stage in the recruitment process. I am currently without a job, but I am actively interviewing with other companies and trying to secure offers.
Could anyone please advise me on what I should do?

Hi, It's understandable that waiting for a job offer can be stressful, especially when you have actively participated in multiple rounds of interviews. Here are some steps you can consider taking:
Communicate with HR
Continue to maintain open communication with the HR representative. Politely express your concerns about the delay and inquire if there are any updates. Ask for an estimated timeline or any specific reasons for the delay. Understanding the reasons can help manage your expectations.
Follow Up Professionally
Send a follow-up email or message to reiterate your interest in the position and to express your eagerness to move forward in the process. Politely ask if there's anything you can do to facilitate the decision-making process.
Explore Other Opportunities
Given the uncertainty, it's wise to continue exploring other job opportunities. Keep attending interviews and applying for positions elsewhere. Diversifying your options will not only alleviate anxiety but also increase your chances of securing a job offer.
Network
If possible, leverage your professional network to gather information about the company's hiring process. Sometimes, having connections within the organization can provide insights.
Consider Multiple Offers
If you receive offers from other companies during this waiting period, carefully evaluate them. You can use these offers as leverage during salary negotiations once you receive an offer from the current company.
Manage Anxiety
While waiting, focus on activities that help manage stress and anxiety. Exercise, engage in hobbies, and spend time with friends and family to maintain a healthy balance.
Seek Clarity on the Process
Request clarity on the steps involved in the decision-making process. Understanding the various stages and approvals required may help you better navigate the situation. The job market can be unpredictable, and delays in the hiring process are not uncommon. While waiting for updates, proactively pursue other opportunities to ensure you have options available. It's essential to strike a balance between being patient and actively managing your career.
Thanks

Considering the Company's Delay
Where the company is sitting on the approval, it may be that they have not selected you but kept you as a backup if someone does not join or leaves. You better start looking for an alternative job and accept whichever comes first.

Hi, thank you for your reply!
The company is hiring for a client, and the client is starting a new project. I don't know when the project will start, and neither have the details been shared with me during any interview rounds. I am still hopeful but also interviewing for other companies as well.
Please let me know if you have anything to add to this.
Thank you again!

Hi, It sounds like you're in a situation where you're hopeful about a potential job offer from a company that is starting a new project, but you haven't received details about the project timeline or your role. Meanwhile, you are exploring other opportunities by interviewing with different companies.
Here are a few suggestions to navigate this situation:
Follow Up:
Reach out to your contact at the company where you interviewed and express your continued interest in the position. Politely inquire about the status of the hiring process, the project timeline, and if there are any updates on your application.
Express Your Enthusiasm:
Reiterate your enthusiasm for the role and your eagerness to contribute to the new project. Emphasize your commitment to the company and your flexibility to align with their needs.
Continue Interviewing:
Keep exploring opportunities with other companies. It's essential to have options and not put all your hopes into one opportunity. Attend interviews with an open mind, and if you receive other offers, it could provide you with leverage or alternative choices.
Stay Professional:
Maintain professionalism in all your communications. Even if you're exploring other options, ensure that your interactions with the first company remain positive and respectful.
Network:
Leverage your professional network to gather information about the company, its projects, or any potential updates. LinkedIn can be a useful platform for this purpose.
Be Patient:
Understand that hiring processes can take time, especially for new projects where details may still be getting finalized. Be patient and give the company some time to provide updates.
Evaluate Offers:
If you receive job offers from other companies, carefully evaluate them based on your career goals, the company culture, and the opportunities they present. Remember that the job search process can be unpredictable, and having multiple irons in the fire can increase your chances of landing a position that aligns well with your career aspirations. Good luck with your job search!
