AIBU to think this is a job rejection?

So, i got to the final stage of interviews (3 in total). It all went ahead fairly quickly and efficiently. I felt really positive about it and felt we all got on. Anyway the recruiter told me on Monday that initial feedback is positive but they still have one person to interview at final stage and they'll let me know either way this week. Still nothing tho. I just presume it's a no as otherwise wouldn't they just make me an offer? Feeling deflated as really felt it was positive and didn't expect there even was another candidate

I have has this twice this week, still waiting to hear on one but am of the same opinion as you. Back to the search

@Zeb81
Yea just feel if they wanted me they’d have let me know by now

I felt the same at my last interview, OP. Turned out they were taking their time cos they were deciding what salary to offer.

Thanks TimeForTeaAndG
Recruiter just said he hasn’t heard anything still and will try to speak with them again later ugh
If it was the salary that was delaying surely they’d relay that to the recruiter?

Update: recruiter is being really supportive. At 11 he said he had to call the company about something unrelated and would then ask about me and what's going on and then get back to me but he never did. So they probably didn't tell him anything ffs don't get it

:(

If they definitely didn’t want you, they would have told you by now. Same if they definitely wanted you.

They’re not sure. Possibly they like you a lot but they liked someone else more and that person hasn’t yet confirmed whether they’re accepting the offer.

I had a great interview turn silent once - turned out they’d suddenly had a hiring ban imposed by head office but they weren’t allowed to tell anyone about the hiring ban until it was formally announced weeks later. So they just left me hanging.

Who knows all you can do is wait.
