Do people send thank you notes following a phone interview? I just had an interview with a manager and didn't think to request their email following our conversation.

Step 3: always send thank-you note

Disagree with ASSC1 (?) - BCG1 knows what's up

I have - it can never hurt, only help. In the past, I’ve been able to follow up with the recruiter to ask if they are willing and able to share interviewers contact info so I can send a thank you

Send it via the recruiter, don’t stalk

Why risk not having the right email when the recruiter can give you the exact email? Not all companies have the same format, especially if two people have the same last name/first initial

ASSC was suggesting to email the recruiter to forward it on, which from my experience may not ever get there. If there is a bounce back, then OP can ask the recruiter for an email.

Ask the recruiter for the interviewer’s email. Send them an email 100% within 24 hours. Basic interviewing etiquette

PWC1, I was suggesting asking the recruiter for the email addresses so you can be sure they’re accurate, and then sending them yourself. Not having the forwarded on - I think it should be more personal and come directly from you!

Always

ALWAYS send a thank you note. No matter what

TIA!
