# Eight Rounds. One Month of Silence. One More Round. Then Nothing.

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Unknown sector · via r/recruitinghell

A job seeker completed seven interview rounds, then heard nothing for a month. The recruiter resurfaced: the company had undergone an "organisational change" and needed an eighth round with a new hiring manager. The candidate agreed. After completing it, they waited. No rejection. No follow-up. No response of any kind. The company had been trying to fill the role for over eight months before the candidate even applied. Hundreds of commenters on r/recruitinghell shared similar experiences, with the consensus being clear: if a company cannot decide after three rounds, it will not decide after eight.
