I had a Teams interview and the recruiter told me later that week that I was in the top 4 and to expect next steps within a day or two. However, I never heard from them again. I followed up with the first recruiter I spoke to, and he said he didn’t know and that someone else was handling it. There was no further communication.

Got a voicemail that was really informative about them wanting me for my skills. Then had a phone interview that was also really informative and professional. The person interviewing me said the job was for a 'rover accountant' who would be employed by Robert Half but work for different clients as they needed.
