How long to get a reply after application through referral?

Typically, you will receive an answer within 1-2 weeks of applying. Though, this can vary by company, amount of applications, time of year, etc. 

I would note that since it is summer and Eid holidays are coming up, it may take the firm longer to respond (~2-4 weeks). 

If you do not receive a response in several weeks, you can reach out to the recruiting team and check if they have received all the information required for your application.

My application was only answered after one month (!), even though I was invited to join and already in touch with the team I worked for.

The recruiter was ill, so everything took a bit longer …

After a couple of weeks (3-4), I think you can send a reminder if you know who the recruiter is.

it depends if you go through “organized recruiting waves”, then it would take approx. 2 weeks, if you go “off-cycle” then it takes 2-4 weeks. if you still dont hear after that time, reach out to the recruiter. 

Was this answer helpful?

Typically 1-2 weeks. EID holidays could delay the response a bit

Hi there,

It should be a matter of weeks. Feel free to reach out the person who referred you if you haven't heard anything in 3+ weeks.

Good luck!

There’s a few factors that affect this. Typically if a partner refers your application then you should hear back within the week, especially if the partner is actively interested in hiring you. 
outside of this it can take a few weeks for them to get back and will require follow up from your end as well to the person who recommended you 

Hello!

They would contact your over email, since that is the contact you provide them in the CV, that is what the referrer gives HR.

Hi there,

This can take anywhere between a day and a few weeks. If you don't hear back after 8 weeks let's say, I'd send a friendly email to the person referring you. Simply tell them what happened (or didn't) and ask whether they had any info for you.

I know it's hard to patient but that's your only option at this point.

Best of luck!
