Interview follow-up

Hi there, 

Anything under a week is a bit too soon. 

Don't worry, they didn't forget about you. I'd suggest if you get to two weeks and you haven't heard back, then that's when you should follow-up. 

Let me also share with you here two articles that would be super relevant for you in terms of understanding what the job will look like:

• What being an entry-level consultant is like
• How is lifestyle in consulting

Hello!!

Generally, I think the best practice is to send an email immediately after the interview, thanking the person from HR and the interviewers.

Having said that, I wouldn't send another follow-up before at least 10 days have passed, and when you do send one, you need to be super polite. When they make their decision, you will be the first to know:)

Good luck!!

Hi there,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• It's generally a good idea to wait at least 2 weeks before following up with the recruiter after an interview. This allows them enough time to properly review your interview and make a decision. 
• However, if the interviewer specifically mentioned that they would be in contact soon, it's reasonable to reach out after a week of the interview to inquire about the status of your application.
• Keep in mind that it's important to be respectful and patient when following up, and avoid being too persistent. If the recruiter is interested in moving forward with your application, they will reach out to you.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hi there,

I would not followup until 2 weeks have passed. Remember, following up doesn't change their decision…it's just about you and wanting to have control. So, if you can wait 2 weeks and not appear needy, that's best!

Hi there,

Q: What is an appropriate amount of time to give before following up with the recruiter after an interview?  

If they haven’t mentioned a specific timeline I would wait at least one week, after that it is fine to follow up.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I would reach out at the beginning of next week!

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

Cheers,

Give it 1-2 weeks before you follow up. Unless you have a competing offer that is forcing you to make a decision - then you should act sooner. Otherwise, give it some time and don't be on their heels right away.

Wishing you the best of luck that the feedback is positive

Hi there,

I would say that two weeks is more reasonable, so you'd have to sit tight a little longer before following up. However, it also depends on exactly what was said, which I don't know.

For general guidance: In the current climate, decisions take a bit longer and recruiting have a harder time managing the candidate pipeline. Hence, prepare for a slower process than usual.

Best of luck!

Hi,

I think waiting for a week and only then following up is good. When you reach out, you can ask them if there is any update and if not when you should expect to hear back.

Good luck,

A consulting firm taking more than one week is fine. So you don't need to reach out unless you have a reason to.

If you don't have a reason, asking after a couple of weeks is fine as well.
