Do you send thank you notes after an interview to the hiring manager still? Should it be routed through the recruiter or guess the email address of hiring manager?

Same as C1 - I always do. Probably only get a response maybe 25% of the time, but the way I think about it is that sending an email can only help you (so long as the grammar is correct). Say it's between you and another candidate after a final round and you sent a personalized TY and they didn't - it could be the differentiator.

I had one instance where I sent one and then the HM accidentally responded to me instead of the co-interviewer with something along the lines of "did you get a personalized email too?... impressive".

When I am a hiring manager, I view a follow up email as another signal of interest. It’s not going to make up for a bad interview, but if I’m unclear if the candidate is interested in the role, it can only help.

For the amount of effort it takes (a couple minutes?) why not do it..

You always should. It makes a difference. You should be quick about it though, before they complete their review of you.

I send it. It’s basic courtesy. Genuine, quick note thanking them for their effort and insights. That’s all. Why is this even a question

Yes. It can't hurt and I guarantee it will set you apart from the crowd. It's an opportunity to acknowledge the time and energy that were put into interviewing you, and also shows that you know how to cultivate good relationships.

I’ve never heard of someone who got rejected because they didn’t send a TY note.. so pass. I’m also being generous with my time taking the interview. They’re getting paid to interview so me. Sooo

I always have. I try to keep it less phoney though. Just simple and honest and thanks for the opportunity blah blah.

I've done both. A recruiter can forward it along, or I try to guess on the email but that can be risky too.

It is good form to send a thank you note. It won't overcome a poor interview, yet will reinforce a positive interview.

What about the phone screen call? Send TY note? Yes/No?

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
