DOH HIRE Pilot Project

I applied to a job vacancy within the DOH Developmental Disabilities Division about 2 weeks ago. I understand with the state and even jobs in general, hearing back takes awhile, but does anyone have experience applying to the state (any dept) and can give some insight on how long it might take to hear back? I talked with their booth and a recent job fair and they said it could be about 2 weeks. Just feeling a bit anxious right now. I'm ofc applying at other places, but people have said this HIRE (Hiring Innovation for Rapid Employment) program they have is supposed to 'expedite' the hiring process? Would people say this is true?
