I received a full-time verbal offer from a major real estate consultancy company, but it was withdrawn due to budgetary reasons. The process was fast, in 3 weeks i interviewed with director of the team and head ofs and than verbal offer. Where did i failed? Did they do a background check? or is it common to have verbal offer to multiple candidates?

Shit happens. Hiring people is a touch in this environment. I had to rescind an offer last qtr. which absolutely gutted me.
Reality is headcounters are lighter and budgets are tighter. Miscommunications and false starts are more prevalent in this would where team leads seemingly have a little less power on the hiring front.
Do you think is due to budget or maybe they have other candidates?
Highly likely that the error is on their end, not yours.
Sign of the times.
Honestly, don't sweat it or overthink it. On the bright side, better it happened now versus working there for a few weeks or months.
To echo goodL1fe, I wouldn't want to work for a firm that rescinds verbal offers anyway.
It’s happened to me twice. It sucks but you just gotta keep chugging along.
Name and shame
What’s the point of this tbh?
So others avoid the same fate and avoid that company
I get your point but tbh I’d reapply for jobs at the company that did it with me. Maybe I’m just stuck on the hampster wheel

Had that happen as well from one of the shops people on this website would go bananas for. Was a bummer because I had 10 interviews plus a massive case study.
Not great to see that other people have had similar experiences.
For lateral hires, how much of this do people think is on the firm backchanneling references? Not seeing this mentioned yet.
Generally agree in current cycle firms are headcount tight but figured a friendly "we have to put the process on pause for a while" rather than flat out rescinding would be the message.
Years ago a close friend was lateraling and his verbal was rescinded - we both laugh about it now. Great name that ended up struggling in this cycle.
Have you seen someone get put on pause and then get a call back?
