Do people still send thank you emails to hiring managers?

I’ve never offered a job to someone who didn’t send me a thank you email. Not because they didn’t send me a thank you email, but because the best candidates usually do.

@CD1 I didn’t say I made an offer based on that and I also didn’t say that people don’t underperform. Read it again.

I’m saying that in my experience, I end up giving offers to the same people who send thank yous—not because they send thank yous, but probably because they have attention to detail and a willingness to go the extra mile that is reflected in other parts of their career that make them an attractive candidate.

Yeah I do. Doesn’t hurt, makes you a little more memorable, and the last external recruiter I dealt with actually suggested it which I think means something considering they’re heavily invested in you landing the role.

YES!!! And in the message work in how you’re a fit and excited to dive in. At this point don’t let them think anything else other than your the person for the job.

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
