I am a person who loves to do things fast, so my sense of urgency is 7-9 if i am assign a job to be done, i will get it done asap . Like wise, for my brother, when i tell him that i need to use the toilet urgently, he will still take his own sweet time to do his business and do not care about what you are telling him. I feel that a company replying after 2 months is too much. Imagine if the person is unemployed and need a job to feed his stomach, guess the person would be dead by then. Maybe you can send a reply " Thanks for the reply, the job seeker is dead by now!" LOL Different people have different sense of urgency.

But I was thrown off because I was "in a hot job market" and I didn't think that my "job search sales cycle" would be long... this is one of those simple transferable principles that really caught me off guard!

They find a hot prospect and know that it might be 6 - 12 - 18 months before they close a deal. 18 months is a long time! And the salesperson doesn’t go spend the commission check until the sale is made. Salespeople understand the issue – in sales it is called SALES CYCLE.

I went through their typical online procedure (fill out a resume online, even though I just sent them their resume - you’d think that some of these companies would spend a little bit of money and buy some software to take your resume and dump it in their system - but no - you have to fill out their usually buggy forms).
