Are recruiters contacting applicants during the holidays? Ive applied to a bunch of places since dec 20 and havent heard back. Wondering if its just recruiters holding back on contacting candidates since the holidays make scheduling hard?

December 20th was only 5 business days ago and two/three of those days were holidays.

Your expectations are too high, level them out. Your title is 'Manager' so put yourself in their shoes. You need to be patient. As others mentioned, Dec 20th wasn't too long ago (3 days excl. weekend and holidays). Also, chances are people have taken PTO during this time.

Seriously???

Your lack of patience and critical thinking tells me that these recruiters should pass on your application

They can pass up on my application, i dont really care. I got laid off on December 18th, sorry I am not in the right state of mind

Hello all. What questions are generally asked during system design round in case of interviewing for Frontend Developer roles (YOE 3 - 4 years, tech stack: React Javascript, React Native)?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Needing advice for a communications role at a major bank. Coming from agency side, what will the hiring manager care about most (other than relating your experience to the job duties). Can’t screw this up!
