"On Hold" SA Position
Hi Guys, I've been on hold for about two weeks from a top BB for an S&T SA offer. Got a call the day after my super day saying I've been placed on hold from the recruiter. I reached out recently inquiring about my status and HR responded promptly saying they would let me know when they have an update on their end which I took positively as it would seem I am still in the running. Does anyone have any experience with this/advice on how to best proceed? Thanks
Sit tight. If they want you they will offer you. If not they won't. Calling over and over won't help. You are probably a backup option at this point.
I got the same experience. If u are really worried about it, go check with ur schoolmate, and see if anyone gets the offer. At this situation, u are on the waitlist with a rank. Usually, if the one before u rejects the offer, u would get it. Wish u good luck.
On hold situations are terrible. I am there too! I'll update if I ever hear back...
I heard back with a no! I know of someone who got off the same wait-list I was on, so it is possible!
Like stated above, there's not much you can do at this point. There's someone or multiple people ahead of you who they extend offers to and are waiting to hear back from .
Still on hold...I reached out to one of the people I interviewed with a few weeks ago and they said they expected me to have an updated last week, have heard nothing. Anyone have any insight as to why it is taking this long? I imagine top BB S&T recruiting is done by now, most people should have responded to offers, shouldn't I have a no by now?
Still haven't heard...
"on hold" at GS for SA tech position - wht to do now (Originally Posted: 01/08/2018)
Hi there, I had a superday with GS engineering for a summer tech analyst position in mid Dec. I was told that they'll get back to me in two weeks, but no news since then. Last week I found the online status changed to "on hold" without any email notification, so I followed up with my hr contact, she said they are still doing internal review. I don't know if that's what is really happening, or am I already put on some sort of waitlist. Have anyone been in the same situation? Any successful stories?
Heard from an internal friend that one interviewer thought my coding wasn't top, the other two really like me, and they are all from different teams....I really want this opportunity and it's my first time applying to BB, so really don't know what to do now except keep waiting.
Any response is appreciated, and thank you in advance for your time and help!
Nothing you can do at this point. You already have as good information as you could possibly get from your internal source. Just wait and hope for the best!
Okie, thanks a lot!
Just my 2c:
Leverage this opportunity, a "holding period" may be a blessing in disguise. Use this to make yourself more desirable elsewhere.
Reach out to any other positions you've networked with and let them know you are currently interviewing with other places (don't need to say GS, but can if they ask, or just say another BB), but that you'd really like to work with their team for X reason.
I was put on hold for a FT position due to third party reasons, and was able to talk to other companies and, when they asked if I was interviewing, say yes I was in process with a BB. Helps you speed the process with other places and sound more competitive.
