Back to overview

HR said “feedback was positive overall” what does that mean?

Following my first round I emailed HR to thank them for their time etc.

she responded saying inter Alia: "I hear feedback was positive overall and we will be in touch regarding next steps"

does this mean I passed the first round or is it still a toss up?

I am guessing they would not say that if they didn't think I will move forward to round 2..

Hi there,

Well done! Looks like you're on to the next round!

It's not 100% certain until they confirm with 2nd round logistics, but it's looking pretty good :)

I'd say you can be cautiously optimistic. While details remain guesswork, my interpretation world be it's a pass, but the interviewer that was supposed to call you with specific feedback dropped the ball.

Thanks - the interview was yesterday and she sent the email this morning. So I guess the call should come soon.

Do you mind sharing who this was with and which office? :)

I would assume that the overall feedback, so not just a specific point, in a sense, was perceived in a way that one could describe as the combination of po and sitive. In all seriousness, what else do you expect people to say here lol
