How long till I hear back?

I recently applied for a lateral position in Research at a lower BB, and the recruiter just told me last week that he had forwarded my resume to the hiring team.

I was wondering how long the general process is after this for a FT lateral hire? (I have talked to recruiters now at 3 places in the last 2 weeks and heard the same but no updates after that so just getting slightly worried)

ughhh I hate recruiters

I don't know, ask the 'recruiter'

My own opinion is that if the hiring team wanted to talk to me, they would have reached out to me by now, no? I don't think scheduling a phone interview takes 2 weeks.
