I had my final virtual onsite interview loop for Apple AIDP last Friday. Today marks the 7th business day since my interview, and I was expecting to hear back from the hiring team by now.
I haven’t received any updates from either the recruiter or the coordinator yet. For anyone who has recently interviewed with Apple, is this kind of timeline normal? How long did it take for you to hear back after your final onsite?
Any insights or recent experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
🌱🌱🌱
I applied for an IOM International P-2 position.
My timeline is:
Applied: July 2026
Interview: September 2026
PAS/referees submitted
Status changed from “Under Consideration” to “Decision in Progress”
After 3+ weeks, email to hr and HR confirmed: “The recruitment process is still underway.
You will be contacted as soon as a decision has been reached.”

Has anyone experienced a similar IOM process?

How long did your “Decision in Progress” stage take before you received the final outcome?

After all what do you think ! Rejection or offer 😎😔
Thanks in advance!

Hello I am trying to decide between two potential job offers. Position A is doing account management/project management and is $45/hour for 40 hours a week but ends in May. This is fully remote and with a friend who works there. Position B is media sales, something I have not done before, but it sounded fun because you get to drive and not be at home all of the time. This position is $60,000/year with full benefits plus commission. Position B is out of my comfort zone but could be fun to try though I have heard some not so good stories about sales. I feel like Position A is more safe and lucrative even though it is only for a few months. Thanks for helping me make this hard decision!

I finished my BIE L5 loop recently and expected an update by yesterday, the end of the five business days. I contacted my recruiter a few days ago, and they indicated that they would reply soon. I am simply curious about the progress and whether any details explain the delay.

I know someone high up at a company that fed my resume through to the exact team I applied for. Had my first screener two weeks ago and haven’t heard back. It’s a large well known brand. Is this normal? Worried I got rejected but I feel like that wouldn’t make sense given I was recommended but c suite and had a good interview IMO. They seemed pretty invested in me and gave me great advice for the next rounds which I haven’t experienced before in interviews. Also, I’ve gotten the feedback that I do perform well during interviews so feel like I would at least get to the hiring manager round.

Feeling a bit discouraged but just need to know if this is normal and if there’s still hope. It’s a role in SPAM (social media, PR, advertising, marketing) keeping it general for privacy sake.

Also I noticed a lot of sales goes with recruiting can someone please help me understand? Looking to switch from teaching to recruiting
