What's the best way to follow up with an interviewer who didn't give you a timeline?

1. Send a polite thank you email expressing gratitude for the interview. 2. Inquire about the next steps and express your continued interest in the position. 3. Mention your enthusiasm and ask if there's a tentative timeline for the decision-making process. 4. Keep the follow-up concise and professional, and reiterate your appreciation for the opportunity.

One thing I actually found helpful is to follow up with a call to express gratitude for the interview and your continued interest in the position. Many positions have lots of candidates, however, we tend to remember the candidates that we can remember…try a phone call, it’s worked for me in the past. Best of luck!

Following an interview, it is best practice to send a thank you email within 24 hours. If a week passes without word on next steps, I would follow-up with an email to reiterate your interest in the position and inquire about next steps. Ask if they have a timeline they are trying to stick to. If you are interviewing with other companies, it's also good form to keep the recruiter updated with how things are progressing. If you're close to another offer, be sure they know that. (This must be done delicately so it doesn't come off as pushy or threatening.)

Of course, following up after an interview requires both a patient and proactive approach. If an interview didn't provide a timeline, send a polite and concise email expressing your continued interest in the position and seeking an update on the hiring timeline. Try not to sound pushy or impatient; instead, convey your eagerness to move forward and inquire about any additional information they may need from your end. Always express gratitude for the opportunity and provide your contact information for any further correspondence.

1) Send a Follow-Up Email: The email can express your appreciation for the interview, reiterate your interest in the position, and politely inquire about the expected timeline for a decision. This shows your continued interest in the role and allows the interviewer to provide an update without feeling pressured. 2) Express Enthusiasm and Patience: In your follow-up, convey your enthusiasm for the opportunity while demonstrating patience. This strikes a balance between expressing continued interest and understanding that the decision-making process may take time. It also reflects professionalism and consideration for the interviewer's schedule.

Sending a gentle reminder to follow up with an interviewer can be done through a brief and polite email. Express appreciation for the opportunity to interview, reiterate your enthusiasm for the position, and kindly ask for an update on the hiring process, mentioning your understanding of their busy schedule.

Absolutely, sending a polite follow-up after a reasonable time is a good practice. It helps reaffirm your interest in the position and shows professionalism. Just ensure your message is concise, friendly, and maintains a positive tone.

If you have not heard within a week, there is nothing wrong with following up (unless you were given another timeline during the interview). Remain professional and enthusiastic as you inquire. For any recruiter or hiring manager reading this, if you are not going to hire this person, please let them know so they can move on. Put yourself in your candidate’s shoes. They’ve interviewed and if it’s not going to work, let your candidate know!

Reach out to the HR recruiter to ask about any other steps as well. The interviewer could be waiting on other people and HR would be able to share that information with you.

Politely restate your interest in the position and your enthusiasm for the opportunity to contribute to the company. Inquire about the status of the hiring process. You can phrase it as "I am eager to learn about the next steps in the hiring process and any expected timeline for a decision." This may help to get the feedback.

Personnellement, j'ai toujours conseillé à mes clients de toujours faire un mail de remerciement après l'entretien de recrutement. Un mail qui dit merci pour le rendez-vous et qui dit est également un rappel de ce que la personne a compris du poste et des compétences et réalisations en lien avec ledit poste. Un petit geste tout simple qui a un fort impact sur le recruteur et permet de revenir vers lui de manière pertinente et efficace. De plus, s'il n'y a pas eu de précision sur le processus pour obtenir une réponse, c'est le moment de poser la question et vérifier ce point. Oser demander et prendre sa place dans la relation face à un recruteur, c'est montrer le professionnel que vous êtes.

The best way to showcase your achievements is to have them on LinkedIn. By finding and connecting to them on LinkedIn they can quickly see what you are are up to, if you have anyone in common and view recommendations. While my interviewer has my resume, I've found they usually view my LinkedIn as well. Be sure to showcase yourself on the site

You can't get if you don't ask. Asking for feedback will accomplish two things - provide you insight on their timeline and where you rank against the other candidates, as well as give you specific ways you can improve your results for future interviews.

Asking for a feedback gives you more clarity on the chances of your selection. Sometimes it helps recruiters to identify a candidate who asks for feedback, as a "keen to apply candidate", amidst the many applicants.

Begin with a thank-you email expressing gratitude for the opportunity to interview, Reiterate your enthusiasm for the position and the company ,Briefly reaffirm why you believe you are a strong fit for the position based on the interview.Remember, each situation is unique, and it's crucial to adapt your follow-up approach based on the specific dynamics of the interview and the company culture. Always maintain professionalism and avoid appearing overly persistent

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for feedback. However, you may be more likely to get canned phrases rather than constructive feedback that will help you in the future. We live in a litigious society and everyone is afraid to say the wrong thing. But, don’t let that stop you. You never know when you will receive valid feedback that can help you the next go-round.

While there is nothing wrong asking for feedback, it may not be relevant to you. Perhaps something internal changed; it may have nothing to do with you. I've found that feedback was not really helpful. Keep on applying to multiple jobs even while interviewing. Do not stop applying and interviewing until you get an offer. I've seen interviews take 3 months for a process while others are done in a week.

There comes a time when you have to move on. If you have tried to follow up without luck, they most likely are not planning on hiring you. That sounds harsh, I know. That’s not always the case. However, I’d be concerned about their lack of professionalism. That’s not a company who has its stuff together. Let’s not sugarcoat it. If you are in a job search, you can’t afford to wait on a company while they keep putting you off. Chances are, it’s probably not going to work. For you, it’s onward and upward. You will find the company that appreciates you and what you offer!

Don't feel bad getting rejected, there's 100 of applications and only 1 job. It's a numbers game, you just need to keep applying to have the odds in your favor. Luck plays a big part.

Une fois, alors que j'ai eu plusieurs rendez-vous (échanges téléphonique, rendez-vous en visio) et des relances par mail. Je n'ai eu aucune nouvelles de l'entreprise. Je me doutais bien que ma candidature n'avait pas été retenu. Néanmoins, quand de mon c?té j'ai été prise dans un poste dans une autre entreprise. J'ai recontacté cette entreprise pour l'informer que je n'étais plus disponible. Je ne vous cache pas que la DRH était très gênée et surprise. Elle m'a remerciée et c'est excusée plusieurs fois de ne pas être revenu vers moi. Il y a toujours un moyen de faire bonne impression. Mais bien s?r, il ne faut surtout pas rester dans l'attente de réponse. Il faut avancer vers son objectif. On ne sait jamais de quoi demain est fait !

Keep on applying and interviewing. I've seen interviewers come back after months of silence asking if there was still interest. Brush this off; it's not personal. If they really want you, they will give you timelines. Don't be afraid to be proactive and ask for timelines. What's involved? What do you need to make a decision? Be graceful is an understatement. Years later, you may be in the market again and since you have connected with them on LinkedIn, you can reach out personally and keep in touch. By being cool, it shows your professionalism.

Embrace the moment to step forward. If efforts yield no response, they might not be the right fit. It's tough, but their lack of professionalism is concerning. Your journey deserves a place that values your worth. Keep moving forward, and you'll find the appreciation you deserve!

You never know what's going on behind the scenes. Radio silence can be frustrating and disappointing. Some interviewers have a gift of making everyone they meet feel special. However, even if you thought that you nailed the interview, maybe you did, but maybe you didn't. Conversely, there are interviewers who barely crack a smile, but who end up being your biggest supporters. As cliché as this sounds, timing is everything. If you don't end up with this job, you may end up getting hired in the future. Over the years, I've had candidates who were well received and well qualified, but for a variety of reasons, the client went with someone else. I've also had situations where the same client ended up hiring that candidate months later.

At the end of the interview, gently ask about the timeline. You might say something like, 'Just so I know what to expect and can align the rest of my recruitment efforts accordingly, where are we on the process atm and what is your expected timeline for next steps? It shows curiosity, forward momentum, and gives them a gentle nudge / sense of urgency. If you didn't do that, as plan B you can send a quick email of thank you and ask the same question in writing.

Express gratitude in a thank-you email post-interview, reiterating enthusiasm for the position. Politely inquire about the anticipated timeline for the next steps. Be patient, considering the general hiring process timeframe or any mentioned during the interview. If no response is received, send a concise follow-up email expressing continued interest and asking for updates on the hiring process. Maintain a professional tone, use a clear subject line, and avoid excessive follow-ups. The goal is to demonstrate enthusiasm while respecting the hiring process. This proactive approach keeps you on the interviewer's radar and shows your commitment to the opportunity.

I always advise clients to set a time with the interviewer following the interview. There is no such a thing as one not being able to give you a time. Even if you settle on preliminary "touch base" is better. Showcase your negotiation skills. Set the expectations and follow through. If they don't respond that is showing their character and of you don't, that is showing your deficiency. There is no magic bullet otherwise, but about a week seems to be reasonable. You should always follow up after the interview and thank the person. I also encourage people to summarise some key points after the interview. This speaks to your diligence and serves as a refresher in case they missed something.

In case you are sending the follow-up email, use a clear and concise subject line that indicates the purpose of your email. For example, "Follow-Up on [Position Title] Interview."
