Hey everyone, I applied for an entry level role at Microsoft a little over a month ago and I even got a referral for it, and I also reached out to recruiters who told me to go ahead and apply. Does it usually take this long for Microsoft to get back to applicants? The role starts in January so i feel like it’s already been filled. I just don’t want to accept another position with out hearing back from Microsoft first. Any advice would be much appreciated!

It can take a long time. I remember thinking I wasn't hearing back due to lack of interest but apparently they had just hired a new recruiter and she was still learning the ropes

I think they just might not be that into you :/ if following up and referral didn’t pan out then maybe you should revisit your resume or find a role that is a better fit for your background.

Yeah they might have moved on already. I wouldn't hold out if it's been this long.

Have you followed up on your application? That does seem like a long time, so I wouldn't pass up other opportunities that come along.

Hey everyone thanks for advice, I just reached back out to the recruiter today to check to see if there are any updates on my application so im just now waiting to hear back !

Good luck OP! From what I'm seeing, recruitment is starting to slow down a bit so that might be why you're not hearing back - less impetus to hire with EOY coming up, holidays etc. Hope you hear back!

Thanks! It would be great to hear back even if it’s just to let me know that they have filled the position already but we’ll see!

Hey everyone after emailing the hiring manager for the specific role I applied too I got a automated response saying that she was on leave of absence for the past 3 weeks and won’t be back until the middle of December and it looks like the job post was taken down from the website so looks like it was just bad timing for me.
