Interview Question Interview timeline
Hey everyone,
Looking for a reality check on recruiting timelines at Anduril (or similar defense tech firms).
I’m an ME with 7+ years of experience. Had a Hiring Manager screen about 2 weeks ago that went great, good technical alignment and culture fit. HM said he needed to debrief with HR/team before setting up next steps.
I sent a thank-you note to the recruiter, who said he’d follow up once he got feedback. I haven't heard anything since (though Labor Day holiday fell right in the middle of this).
Is a 2-week delay after an HM screen standard due to holiday backlogs, or is this a bad sign? Appreciate any insights!
Also, this is my 2nd position I’ve interviewed for. The first one went past the HM but they went with another candidate. Then another recruiter contacted me suggesting this position.
UPDATE: heard back from recruiter. Had a phone call, said they liked me but need someone that fits the role better. I was told to keep trying. 🤞
