Following up on interview : I emailed the recruiter after my initial interviews with 3 people. Haven't heard back but I emailed last week. I know they read the email. They probably are waiting on their first choice candidate. Would I look desperate if I wrote another follow up or just take it as a rejection?

Sorry you’re going through this. We’ve all been there and yes, it’s super frustrating not to AT LEAST get a response that says “we’re still evaluating.”

One follow-up is perfect.

If they want you, they’ll reach out. Otherwise, after 2 or more follow-ups you’ll lose any strength to negotiate if they want you.

I’ve always found it better to move along assuming I didn’t get it. That way I’m continuing to try to create opportunities rather than dwell.

Wishing you luck though.

You sent 2 follow up emails and still nothing? Don’t bother writing back. If they happen to get back to you, great. But they likely passed on you and as is sadly typical, didn’t have the thoughtfulness to let you know what’s happening, whether they r waiting on other candidates or already hired another. Best to direct you energy to other places.

Make sure you keep a running tab of recruiters who strung you along and then ghosted you. I’ve got 5 names written on a sticky note that are essentially blacklisted, and I will absolutely give them negative feedback if anyone ever asks me about them.

I don’t mean this harshly but if they were interested they would have followed up by now. If it takes longer than 24-48 hours to hear back I don’t think you’re moving to the next round.

Yes I am coming to that conclusion

I feel like I could’ve written this post… Was it at an OHG? If so, definitely just move on because your experience isn’t unusual with that recruiter. Feel free to DM me how I know…

Not OHG. More like a mid agency

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
