European from US HRM: I have enough interviews in Rotterdam. I know it's N=1 but it's not like I was completely avoided by European schools because I am from a US HRM. I don't have a packed schedule, it's true, I could have fit much more, but enough interviews to make the trip worthwhile. I can see how this is a complicated decision for European schools. They also have limited slots and don't want to waste them on JMCs who aren't serious in their intentions towards that school...

Demand side from a top-10 European place. Here's the truth about how we approach decisions:
We can't compete for the very top of JMC distribution (basically, anyone who gets a top 10 US school). For candidates who are European or from European schools, we can (and have, in the past) compete successfully with offers in the range of Maryland, Virginia, Penn State, Carnegie Mellon etc. Our salaries are much lower than these places: the reason you might still come is because of low teaching load, high research support, public services and, most importantly, because you liked the idea of living in Europe. Take out the preference for Europe and we routinely see American candidates turn is down for much lower-ranked universities.
Nobody likes a failed search. If we disregarded the European preferences, we would either fail to get people or need to lower our standards a lot. Neither is a good solution.
Credible letters from US advisors do help though. It means we look a lot more closely.
Expecting short-notice calls Monday?I waited until the very last moment and cancelled my flight/hotel an hour ago. If they reach out to me Monday, I'm going to have to explain the situation and ask for Skype.
You are still delusional, hoping you'll get a call because you deserve to be called and then you'll have to explain.

Explain what? That I refunded my tickets because I have zero interviews? What is wrong with you.
The European market is a bust. It will just foster Europe's worst tendencies towards inbreeding and mediocrity. Have fun hiring your own students and paying them 2x minimum wage, buds.
