Phone screen with recruiter Interview with hiring manager Both went well, the hiring manager said she would talk with the recruiter to move me on to the final. A week went by and I heard nothing so I reached back out. Heard back a few days later that “I should have an update shortly”. Another week went by (two weeks total since hiring manager interview) and I received the “we decided to not move forward with you” Note for process: Candidates aren’t commodities, we’re people.
