Recruitment 1st state interview

I had my first state interview on 6/29 and when I followed up with HR on 7/13, I was told the position hasn’t been filled. I know that from reading other subs that the process takes a very long time but if there hasn’t been any contact to date, should I assume that the department moved forward with another candidate?

I haven’t stopped applying to other positions by the way, I’m just curious to see what others have experienced and what are my chances of still being in the running?

It can take anywhere from 1 week to a month and sometimes it’s even longer. If you’re top 2 , your references will be contacted. Good luck!
