Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some insight from HR professionals or anyone with experience on the hiring side.
I recently went through a month-long interview process (3 rounds), and after my final interview, they called me about 2 hours later to say they want to move forward with me. They mentioned they were preparing my offer and just needed to confirm a few details, including whether I had other offers and finalizing compensation.
For context, I had already shared my salary expectations about 3 weeks prior.
It’s now been over a week since that call, and I still haven’t received a written offer. I only have the verbal confirmation that they intend to hire me.
I guess I’m confused because in my past experience, offers usually came the same day or within a couple of days max. So I’m wondering:
- Is this delay normal from an HR/internal process standpoint?
- What typically causes an offer to take this long after a verbal confirmation?
- Should I be concerned, or is this just part of how things work now?
Appreciate any insight you can share!
