How long should you wait for a response, before you give up on a positive jobview

Jobview = Job interview truncated.
To sum up simply, went for a job interview recently, quite interested in the position. Interview was positive. Interviewer boldly stated there was going to be a second round. This was... 2 weeks ago. Said I needed to go through an assessment. Waited all week for the assessment last week, they kept promising they'll send ASAP. Never came.
Stepping into 2nd week this week. I didn't want to push because the interviewers said they were reviewing the matter. Reviewing what exactly, I don't know either.
Should I follow up again? Or just assume it's a lost cause?
Not sure if this matters but person hiring is Caucasian.

QUOTE(Topace111 @ Sep 14 2022, 03:33 PM) Nothing wrong with followup if they clearly mentioned/ stated the expected next phase. In terms of mentality/ expectation, I won't pay much attention until they start negotiating salary/ job offer stage. Anything in between, it's just to determine fit. Keep looking for other jobs in mean time if you are desperate. Remind them more rapidly if you got other offers in hand. If no push factor, carry on with your job and treat this as a nice diversion from BAU Salary discussion has already taken place. However, the assessment has not been given. I do currently hold a job at the moment but am pretty interested in the job. Would a 2nd followup ruin my chances technically? |

QUOTE(undentifiedKC @ Sep 14 2022, 05:01 PM) just email them and ask about the status would be good, y would u think that it will ruin ur chance? just something like showing ur interest and u r waiting for their response or any status, out of courtesy they will tell u whether they're still considering or reject ur application I should probably clarify that by 2nd followup, I am referring to the third time I am inquiring about my application status. I suppose it felt rather dubious to me because the hiring manager seemed super keen 2 weeks ago and wanted to get on with the assessments and hiring process. However, when the following week came through, it was radio silence throughout until I had to push them. And again, no assessments given. With that in mind, should I still follow up? |

Thanks again for the advice. Followed up with the hiring manager and they mentioned they've put the hiring on hold(?) It wasn't specified what was on hold due to a typo but I'm guessing it's referring to the hiring.
Kinda bummed seeing that job scope was within my area of expertise.

QUOTE(mycolumn @ Sep 23 2022, 02:46 AM) In that case, then just better move on to looking for another job. Will keep a close eye on the company but also stick with my current job. Thank goodness for stable income. It would be difficult to find an employer who's willing to agree to my expected salary. |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Sep 24 2022, 04:10 PM) As a hiring manager, "On-hold" really means "I have found someone better, if I can't get that person whether it is the pay/job preference or not then I will go through my on-hold list". That is what on-hold really means. Hmm, wouldn't it be easier if they got straight to the point? That being said, what would you make of the employer if they are constantly still reviewing their applicants? Apparently found out through the job portal I applied at because it provides you notification of the employer's activity. |
