It's been 2 weeks since the McKinsey Digital Assessment, contacted HR, but no reply

Hi all, 

I have done my digital assessment 2 weeks ago, emailed HR 3 times last week to follow up on the result, and tried to schedule the initial call regarding the application process. However, I still haven't heard back from them, and no reply on scheduling the initial call as well. Does that mean I fail the digital assessment or the hiring process is paused? Anyone has any insights? Thank you!

Dear A,

Agree with Francesco here that 3 email in a week it's quite a lot. Just wait for couple days more and then call directly to HR. 

Wish you best of luck,

André

Hi there,

McKinsey indeed normally provides replies for the Imbellus within 2 weeks.

Since you already wrote few emails, I would wait till Tuesday next week and then call directly HR to ask for an update.

I would not recommend to write further emails (3 in one week are already a lot!)

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

It's very important here to practice patience!

Anytime you're looking to follow-up just think "Am I writing to affect the course of events or just for my peace of mind?" If it's the latter, don't email!

Fundamnetally, you should not reach out more than twice without a response. Again, you need to "save" your contact allowance for when they actually may have forgotten or de-prioritized things.

Please do not email them again and learn to practice some restraint - this is a lesson not jsut for recruiting but for your future professional life!

Hi there,

I agree with other experts, 3 mails to HR per one week is a lot!

I would recommend you wait in any case at least 2-3 weeks after the interview. 

Was it helpful?

All the best,

GB
