Can anyone tell me how long do you usually wait to be invited to interview with Microsoft? I applied over a week ago, and I haven’t received an email about no longer considering my application (previously I have in less than two days)

I can tell you from my own experience - applied for a role and didnt hear anything for 3 months. But look at me now !

I am not sure the typical time frame, but I think in this climate where some roles are going on pause for hiring and many companies are reviewing their headcount, it is likely unless the role is critical- it could be awhile (months I would expect).

I also have a few applications in and haven’t heard back on any yet- hoping patience is a virtue! Looks like it worked out for the above poster!

Good luck!

I have seen a lot of talk about freezes/slowing down of hiring. The listing was posted within the past few weeks which is why I’m curious of what to expect.

There seem to be some areas of the company that have indeed slowed down when it comes to hiring, but others have sped up too. It’s a huge organization after all so difficult to make a blanket statement.

Based my own experience of being involved in hiring candidates and applying to jobs the timelines can vary hugely.

Sometimes recruiting is overwhelmed and taking longer, sometimes the hiring team wants to wait for more resumes to come in, sometimes it’s not clear when interviews/screenings can happen. It can also be super quick.

From an applicant’s perspective that is unfortunately very disappointing as you can’t tell if you’ll be called back based on the time it takes.

My application status is now in review. The anticipation is building for sure.
