Do candidates still send “thank you”
Emails after interviews? Just wondering if it even matters following an interview I had recently.

I believe candidates should and many still do. They still matter IMO. I just started a new job two weeks ago; had 10 interviews, 4 of which were with the hiring manager. I sent a thank you email after each, except for 3 of the 4 with my now manager. I also sent a thank you email to their talent acquisition partner that oversaw my process.

I proactively flagged that I was in the midst of my annual review during the tail-end of process and was going to be leaving a bonus and raise on the table, and so, was apprehensive about their timeline. When I received the offer, they provided me a sign-on bonus equivalent to my anticipated bonus plus increased my base salary, bringing me to a $97k increase. They specifically commented on my thoughtful follow-ups resonating with interviewers.

Amen! Wow!! It also confirmed what you were leaving also valued you as well. It’s like dating. Being in demand causes others to want you or pursue you.

Varies. For me, it makes no difference if someone does or does not.

Showing gratitude, whether appreciated or not, should always be shown. It provides insight on your character. I’m all for it!

I do. However, my last two contract roles hired me & set up my second interview. Before, I was able to send a thank you email.
