I applied for the position in early August, had a 2 hour phone interview with the hiring manager, then met with the hiring committee the first week of September 2016. I have not been able to get a hold of anyone about the status of the position, despite numerous emails and calls to the hiring manager and also to someone in HR. I finally received a voicemail (with no details about the job or hiring status, just a request to call back) two weeks ago, returned the call, and have not heard anything since. It's now been eight weeks since my in-person interview. Anyone who goes through such a lengthy hiring process - resume & application plus short essay, phone interview with the hiring manager, and an in-person interview with a five person hiring committee - deserves to be updated in a timely manner about the status of his/her candidacy. Of course, I assumed after a couple of weeks of no responses that I was probably out of the running, but would have appreciated a response from Reed. I let HR know that I was having trouble finding out my status, figuring HR would be able to help me, but again, no response.
