After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

I feel like tech is more referral than anything - rather than bringing in someone completely new, I see teams skip the stack of resumes and go with someone they’ve worked with before or someone’s former colleague
It’s rampant out there. All depends on who the referral is and their relationship to the hiring manager. I could work for Microsoft and refer you to a role internally. Your resume would skip the first line filters and go directly to the recruiter. But. Where it needed to go was to the hiring manager along with a recommendation and a personal note or discussion on why you are great.
I have hired hundreds of people across many years and I always gave better credibility that candidate was solid if I knew and respected the referrer. Not merely someone in the referral system that someone put in there to appease a spouse or take a shot at a bonus.
Yes it’s better than a blind applicant online but it’s mid tier. Not top tier.

The right referral will always carry weight, the issue is that in the current job market there is an unusually high number of skilled workers with references applying to eavy job.
Just yesterday I came across a job posting with 100+ applicants just 4 hours after being posted. No telling how much higher than 100, and I assure you that more than a handful have valid references and experience.

They care but it’s not enough. It used to be that a referral could fully get you a job but now you need a lot more than that
I recently landed interviews at two different companies based on referrals, but didn't ultimately get either job. In both cases, the companies were former customers of one of my previous companies, where I worked tech support; the referrals came from the people at each company who were my main point of contact.

A referral will get your resume in front of the people who need to see it but that's where it ends. The rest is up to you and the hiring team, that is if they decide to move forward with your application.
