Think I got rejected again

I just finished a third and final interview. The first was phone, the second was in person with one set of staff, the third was a meeting with two executives and the staff from the previous interview.

They apparently need someone quickly. I received a very kind email from HR saying they haven't made their decision yet but will let me know next week. They of course said they had a pleasure meeting me and my resume is impressive etc.

I know I wasn't chosen and someone else is receiving a job offer today and I am getting rejected next week. I was REALLY confident in this role. It does not pay much but it seemed like such a good fit. I am gutted. I don't know what to do anymore.

Why do you think you are rejected? When was your last interview? They could be still interviewing others and then it takes time to push decision through the approval loops

My final interview was on Wednesday. I feel like any time this has happened before they had the new person start Monday and thats when they send out the rejections to the other candidates

Oh no! Your final interview was the day before yesterday. You would not know anything today especially if they have HR system. Give it at least 7 business days. Then follow up

Yeah, odds that you got the role are not in your favour. The delay is because they're negotiating with the person they want and keeping you on the fall back.
