No feedback from McKinsey QuantumBlack after second technical interview

Hi

I carried out the second technical interview for a position at QuantumBlack more than 3 weeks ago.

Two weeks later, I still had no feedback from the interview, so I sent an email to the recruiter who asked me about my availability for the following days, which I sent him. However, I did not hear back from him, despite a second email to inform him of my new availability the following week.
I can still see the “Submitted - In Progress” status in the McKinsey Career Dashboard.

Does that mean I'm probably no longer considered?

Sorry to hear about that, it´s time to touch base with HR I believe

Cheers!

I would not try to read anything into the behavior and a rejection would never be delivered by just ghosting a candidate. So keep on trying to get hold of them. I would try to call, not write emails.

Hi there,

I agree with Henning, it would make sense to call the office at this stage to ask for feedback directly. The lack of response doesn’t seem a great sign but you never know.

Best,
Francesco

Hi there,

That's a pain! Sorry you're having to deal with that.

100% call them. Try to get someone on the line and you'll be able to work through the issues...it's so easy to get lost in emails nowadays!

Hello there!

It's important to clear it with HR.
Did you manage to get them on the phone?
