How do you know you got the job?
Usually when an employer asks to call your references, it’s a sign they’re interested in offering you the job. But only if it happens after an in-person interview! If they ask on a first call, or if a recruiter asks before you’ve had an interview, it’s just a sign they’re going through formalities.
Why is the hiring process so long?
Hiring processes have lengthened for several reasons. For one thing, employers are requiring candidates to complete more assessments than they used to. Background checks and references have always been important for obvious reasons, but personality tests and skills assessments are common now as well.

Does a job offer mean you got the job?
Until you are holding a piece of paper in your hand with the job offer on it, including the salary and other details like the official start date, you do NOT have a new job. A verbal offer is excellent, and very promising, but, by itself, it is not a guarantee that you have a new job.
What is the most common day to get a job offer?
Tuesday
When you get a job offer do they call or email?
While the law now requires employers to provide a written contract, it’s normal to first receive an informal offer by phone or email before the company sends out this hard copy. Before you accept the offer, it’s worth taking some time to think about whether or not accepting this new role is the best decision.
Is it bad if an interviewer says they will call you?
It’s neither good nor bad, it’s just how a lot of job interviews go. People often say that job interviews are like dates, but in that particular case, “I’ll call you” isn’t a let down. The fact that the manager hasn’t called you may just mean that she’s busy.
When HR says we will get back to you?
If you’re waiting to hear back about a position you applied for, even after they said HR will get back to you, you should continue to operate as if you didn’t get the job. Don’t stop looking for open positions, don’t stop submitting resumes, and don’t cancel any other interviews you might have already scheduled.
What does it mean if a hiring manager says they will call you?
When a hiring manager says “we will be in touch” after an interview, it typically means that they intend to contact you when they have made their official hiring decision. For instance, an interviewer may say this because other candidates are still scheduled to interview for the same position.
