Has anyone ever been invited for a 3rd interview? If so what did it entail? Did you end up receiving a job offer?
 
I've been to up to 4th and got the job.
- local SA office
- then Canada
- Australia
- SA HR
 
I am very new to this. First time in 8 years, that I went for an interview, was invited for a second, and now 3rd at the same place. Seems like I did not do to bad

yeah i agree with above, you wouldn't get this far if they weren't interested at all so it isn't a bad thing. Remember the interview works both ways as well.
 
Good sign either way.

I went for an interview the other day which I found a bit underwhelming, one of the guys mentioned I was very confident, I suppose its because there is no English word for hardegat.
 
To be honest, I wasn't nervous at all. I did not think I would get this far, but I believe I have a very good chance at landing the job.

Jip, I too asked plenty questions in both interviews, and are planning to do the same in the 3rd

if you come across that way in an interview then they dodged a bullet :p
 
So little details provided.. meh.

Typical interview process i've been through has 3-4 steps i.e. the usual:
1. Automated technical assessment. (computer based/remote)
2. Technical interview /whiteboard
3. Manager + HR meeting (behavioural etc too).
+/- 4. Salary negotiating but this is offline.

FANG types follow the above with a stage 3 integrated into 4 and do it with a onsite visit is used for another technical round nailing you on things u got wrong in stage 1-2 + arbitrary problem solving allowing for rejecting of candidates for "other" reasons (the 'culture' fit stuff comes in the final round).

little info provided for obvious reasons but ok.

interview one was with HR only. They asked what do I do currently, why i want to leave etc.
interview two was with HR and hiring manager. Asked alot of the same questions.
they then contacted me and asked for my payslip - provided.
contacted again for a 3rd interview - they mentioned on the call they want to discuss job spec etc. I already asked about it in interview 2, but sounds like they want to discuss.
 
Often by the 3rd interview they've narrowed the list to either:
* 1 who they just want to make sure fits the corporate culture, or
* a shortlist of 2 or 3 where they want some senior management input into the process for the final short-listed candidates. Usually there is a preference from the Hiring Manager for one of the shortlisted candidates.
 
@Smokey888 sounds like they're a bit unsure and perhaps a manager that is new to the recruiting field. Pity they wasting so much time and should just make an offer already. Are you keen on joining them? What's your reason for leaving where you're at currently?

No technical interviews? Or not that type of job?
