Do thank you notes from candidates have any sway on your decision at all? I personally think they're a nice gesture, but my decision is usually made prior to the note being sent. I've never turned down a candidate I wanted because of a lack of a note.

It's not something I put a lot of weight in, but if I was choosing between 2 similar candidates it could sway me one direction or the other. I appreciate that little extra display of professionalism.

good to know!

I'm the same as you. It doesn't make one iota of difference. It's a nice gesture and I do appreciate it, but it doesn't factor into my decision making whatsoever.

nice gesture for sure

I think it's an important gesture frankly. I do the hiring for our HR team and so decorum and professional communication is super important to us. We are definitely looking for someone who would send a thank you after an interview

oh this is good to know! Is your company more traditional?

No I don’t think it’s a decision swayer at all. But agreed, nice gesture and that’s about it.

agreed

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
