What to do when a company has yet to put forth a job offer, but wants me to stop my job search?

I participated in an informal, panel interview with a firm. Neither the hiring manager nor the company president was present, although I did interview with the hiring manager over the phone. The hiring manager wants me to suspend my job search (I’m currently unemployed) before they have even presented me with an offer. The hiring manager would like to ask the boss a few more questions before making an offer, they said. Should I suspend my search until they have an offer? If not, what can I say to prompt them to move faster?

I would keep looking but not tell them if I was in your situation, but they are seriously considering you

    Definitely keep looking. Just be careful that you don’t apply to an ad that’s from the same company or one of their related companies.
    I don’t know why they’d ask you to suspend your search unless they’re afraid you’d find a better job. In which case they should make an offer to you first.
    Good Luck!
