Got an HR screening (industry job S&P 500) last Wednesday and thought it went well - I was referred by someone who used to be senior in the company and she told me that she was going to schedule another interview.

I followed up last Friday morning and never heard back from her. Is it weird not to hear back from the recruiter a week after HR screening? Does her silence mean they’re not moving forward with my application?

Reach out to your referral. Had smth similar happen to me, ended up being HR’s mislabeling me in the system. Referral followed up, boom, interview for days 😊

If your referral left after they referred you, may be negative to call them out (unless they’re ‘buddies’ with HR or someone in the hiring process).

If referral was already gone when they referred you and are seen as respectable ex-colleague, absolutely name drop.

Also you referral, why would they be bothered? They referred you for a reason, no?
