Hey there,

Ken already outlined everything.

One thing to add: If you have not heard back after 2-3 weeks feel free to reach out again and ask about the status of your application. Phrase it in a way that you are interested if there is anything else that they need from you so it does not appear to be too pushy.

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

When I got referred at McKinsey I didn’t get any automated email after the referral. Instead, HR sent me an email scheduling directly the day of the test. So the fact you haven’t received an automated email doesn’t mean there is necessarily a problem.

If you haven’t received any feedback after a couple of weeks, you can reach out to HR with the “excuse” to verify they received everything, just to check everything is all right.

Best,
Francesco

Hi, I confirm no automatic email will be sent. I recommend follow up her only if you do not get any updates in the next couple of weeks

Hello,

Automated email is not a must in the referral process. I would suggest to wait for a week and then, if you don't receive any update, ask kindly the EM if he could give you more information on the timeline to plan your preparation.

Hi there,

you don't get a notification when being referred. I suggest you reach out to her in couple of weeks asking for an update on your referral process.

Fingers crossed for you!

Cheers, GB

Please do nothing (for now). You're fine.

She has referred you, and, if you pass the screening, they'll reach out to you!

I would not expect any official confirmation email for somebody referring you to HR. If your contact has said she referred you, I would take her word for it. Either she did, or it's an white lie and she won't do so even if you pressure her.

Hello!

Not everyone that gets referred gets an email, so don´t worry.

If you don´t hear anything in a couple of weeks, then follow up with the EM.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
