Got a call from an unknown number day after final-round. Voicemail was full so no message and haven't gotten an email in the last few hours. Any advice?
I know this is a good sign but does HR ever reject by phone after finals?
If they can't reach someone who they want to take would HR ever just reject them and move on to the next candidate for convenience?

If they wanted to make you an offer, they will ~100% call you again and not move on to the next person.
I've gotten both acceptances and rejections over the phone, but they will call again for sure (within a few hours or next day). Hope it's good news for you.
thanks - does HR ever call people immediately after final rounds to reject? or do they only accept and keep everyone else on hold in case the first guys they accept turn down the offer?
If you don't mind me asking, which firm is this?
aqua - sent you a PM
Why don't you stop being a pansy and call them back.
it was an unknown number banker
Go on your cell phone company's website and look at your call log - usually even unknown numbers show up there (at least that's how it works on Sprint).
Edit: Apparently that only works after your bill closed - never mind...
My bad man. It's unlikely that HR would call from an unknown number though. And yes they would call or email you again later if they couldn't reach you so don't worry about it.
They should email you no matter the decision or leave a voicemail.
?
They always called me from an unknown number. If the number was displayed it usually was an MD from his work cellphone.
so was it or wasn't HR? what is your current status?
Yeah wtf. Tell us what happened.
Yea I am curious. The forum needs to know!
If they want to extend you an offer, they're not going to change their mind because they couldn't get through to you. It would be one thing if your v/m message said something like "Hi I am so plastered I can't pick up the phone" but since that does not seem to be the case, I would just keep on waiting for the verdict.
Do I have an offer?? (Originally Posted: 03/12/2012)
Hey guys,
I am really freaking out and I need your opinion. So I had a final round interview today and it went pretty well. A couple of hours later, I check my phone and see that I have a voice mail from HR that was left an hour and a half after my interview ended. I called them back but I guess the person went home for the day so I just left a voice mail and won't hear back till tomorrow. Does this mean I probably have an offer?? Have you ever gotten a rejection phone call within a couple of hours? I'm so nervous/excited I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
Thanks in advance
auto ding for making this post.
you got an offer
but i second whiskey5
did i confuse you?
Classic Schmosby.
You have a voice mail? Haven't you listened to it/what did it say?
Voice mail was from a guy in HR who said to call him back. But I didn't get a chance to call back until after close of business.
Ask Barney - he's normally good with these things.
It's a prank call
Here's a thought... Try to scramble together the words that are in that voicemail.
You MAY be able to figure this one out for yourself. You got an offer, but I think they made a huge mistake.
i might be wrong... but from my experience, a call from your interviewer is normally a good sign, a call from HR means a rejection or waitlist. good luck and i hope you get the offer anyway...
Is this really true?
No you did not get an offer.
Yes.
no it's not true. when I got an offer I was called by HR.
Definitely an offer if they called 1.5hrs after your interview. Grats
I think it's a good sign too. For what it's worth, I got my offer call from HR.
you probably left your jacket at the office and they want to tell you
This.
lol that'll be jokes if true
Got the offer! Thanks for the support guys.
