Typical timing of a offer package?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I had a phone interview with recruiter, then got a face to face interview with the TEAM. 1 week later got a phone call from recruiter, said congrats you've been chosen to move forward. said they would start working on a compensation package for me. That was almost 2 weeks ago.
I decided to reach out to the recruiter 3 days ago through email, and have not received a response to date. I've worked for the same company for over 25 years and am new to this process. Should I try to call the recruiter? Should I just wait? I don't understand why the recruiter wouldn't reply back to my email. My email was simply asking for a status update.
Any help or advice as to what potentially could actually be happening would be greatly appreciated.

As my office's in-house recruiter would say to this question, it's unfortunately the busy season for recruiters now. I still think the recruiter should have gotten back to you sooner if the company is making you an offer, but there's no way to tell what's happening on their side.

While jcmack's answer is good for this specific case, if we're trying for a general Q/A site, we should have a general answer.
It's good to ask about timeframes when you talk with people about getting a new job or promotion. Different people are different, so different companies are different. Some are quick enough to satisfy the most impatient people, and others could actually take in excess of two weeks to manage this step.
If you asked about the timeframe, use that as guidance on when to talk to them next if they don't get back with you. Otherwise, I'd recommend calling back the next day and asking about the timeframe then would be in order. I understand the next day you may be wanting to know status, but by asking about the timeframe, you're communicating that you are interested, and that you're patient enough to wait if you need to.
If you don't have a timeframe from them to go by, you certainly want to call and ask about it before a week is up. I think it's short-sighted, but I've heard of places rescinding offers "on principal" if there's no followup "after about a week".

That's no good unfortunately. In answer to your question, in the case of a recruiter you should aggressively call them at a minimum twice a day.
Thus,
1 week later got a phone call from recruiter, said congrats you've been chosen to move forward. said they would start working on a compensation package for me
If that was in the morning, I'd aggressively follow up with the recruiter in the afternoon. Each conversation, tell the recruiter when you'll be phoning next. So wrap that conversation by saying "We need to move on this, I'll phone you next at 930 tomorrow morning. Talk then."
"Ive worked for the same company for over 25 years and am new to this process. Should I try to call the recruiter? "
There is absolutely no reason not to aggressively call a recruiter (or an agent if you have one) as often as you can, a couple times a day at a minimum.
It's critical to aggressively set times for your next call, each call.
Don't forget that indeed, your recruiter is as keen and as aggressive as you to wrap a deal - you're "on the same side" of this used-car transaction!
Again, waiting two weeks is really wrong - at the very worst you'd phone back the next day, if a whole day has gone by with no action. Good luck with this one!

Should I try to call the recruiter?
At this point with 2 weeks of radio silence, you should try calling the recruiter. Reiterate your excitement about the position and ask for the an update on when you'll receive your offer package.
Normally I recommend following up after 1 week has passed from initial communication with no response.
I don't understand why the recruiter wouldn't reply back to my email. My email was simply asking for a status update.
As my office's in-house recruiter would say to this question, it's unfortunately the busy season for recruiters now. I still think the recruiter should have gotten back to you sooner if the company is making you an offer, but there's no way to tell what's happening on their side.
Just remember don't stop interviewing until you sign an employment contract!

I'm assuming the question is "how often to contact a recruiter when a position is in the works", rather than the separate question, "how long do companies take to finalize a hiring deal."
that was almost 2 weeks ago
That's no good unfortunately. In answer to your question, in the case of a recruiter you should aggressively call them at a minimum twice a day.
Thus,
1 week later got a phone call from recruiter, said congrats you've been chosen to move forward. said they would start working on a compensation package for me
If that was in the morning, I'd aggressively follow up with the recruiter in the afternoon. Each conversation, tell the recruiter when you'll be phoning next. So wrap that conversation by saying "We need to move on this, I'll phone you next at 930 tomorrow morning. Talk then."
"Ive worked for the same company for over 25 years and am new to this process. Should I try to call the recruiter? "
There is absolutely no reason not to aggressively call a recruiter (or an agent if you have one) as often as you can, a couple times a day at a minimum.
It's critical to aggressively set times for your next call, each call.
Don't forget that indeed, your recruiter is as keen and as aggressive as you to wrap a deal - you're "on the same side" of this used-car transaction!
Again, waiting two weeks is really wrong - at the very worst you'd phone back the next day, if a whole day has gone by with no action. Good luck with this one!

I'm assuming the question is "how often to contact a recruiter when a position is in the works", rather than the separate question, "how long do companies take to finalize a hiring deal."
that was almost 2 weeks ago
That's no good unfortunately. In answer to your question, in the case of a recruiter you should aggressively call them at a minimum twice a day.
Thus,
1 week later got a phone call from recruiter, said congrats you've been chosen to move forward. said they would start working on a compensation package for me
If that was in the morning, I'd aggressively follow up with the recruiter in the afternoon. Each conversation, tell the recruiter when you'll be phoning next. So wrap that conversation by saying "We need to move on this, I'll phone you next at 930 tomorrow morning. Talk then."
"Ive worked for the same company for over 25 years and am new to this process. Should I try to call the recruiter? "
There is absolutely no reason not to aggressively call a recruiter (or an agent if you have one) as often as you can, a couple times a day at a minimum.
It's critical to aggressively set times for your next call, each call.
Don't forget that indeed, your recruiter is as keen and as aggressive as you to wrap a deal - you're "on the same side" of this used-car transaction!
Again, waiting two weeks is really wrong - at the very worst you'd phone back the next day, if a whole day has gone by with no action. Good luck with this one!

" in the case of a recruiter you should aggressively call them at a minimum twice a day." - let's not be ridiculous.

Hmm? if your recruiter calls you in the morning with the news you "have" a new contract or position: You would, without a doubt, follow up that afternoon to see what's going on. And then without a doubt you'd follow up the next day, at least once.

Perhaps wait for the offer letter or employment contract which will state the compensation and duties before joining. If they wish to move forward.
