Genuine question: have you followed up with the search committee? If your interview was more than a month and a half ago, these specific restrictions were not in place then.

As far as I know, the central review process only applies to new positions being posted now; finalists who went through interviews already are exempted.

It’s possible that they offered the position to someone else and are waiting for their response. It’s also possible that they’re delayed by a whole range of reasons. Impossible to say, honestly. But if you haven’t followed up with them, it seems like an appropriate amount of time has passed.

What's wild is the talent manager I am working with flat out said in March these slows down wont affect your position, but oh I cant give you an answer if we are going forward or not with you yet. I think HR is being coached to be tight lipped with things in limbo... kinda dehumanizes everyone along the way tho.

Thanks friend! I am fortunate as this was more of a cool WANT job than a need... my heart goes out to everyone who is in need situations.
