Maybe I'm an old fart, but I've never had a job take over 14 days to get. Stringing people along for 3 months is absolute insanity. This is what happens when people get turned into numbers instead of actual beings with needs and emotions.

You’re not even hearing back from the recruiter for 14 days if the job posting just went up. I mean it takes 1-2 weeks from the day you got told that you’re getting an offer to the day when you sign it.

Same, in the past it was much faster.

IMO the reason it takes longer now is because multiple people are getting interviewed simultaneously.

Considering job postings are getting 10x more resumes than before, I'm not surprised companies are hedging their bets and interviewing way more people for the same position.

3 months? Try 6. 7-9 rounds of interviews over a 6 month period. It's insane.
