Hi All! What does that mean when hiring manager responds back on follow-up email, saying “I’ll keep you posted on the next steps”Are they still considering or is it just a new way of rejection?waiting is so painful. :(

It's ambiguous but generally a positive thing. Next steps are what you want. I think it's safe to assume you are still in the running, unless they hear otherwise from those you met with (worst case). Just know that the next step can involve a smaller group of candidates who are advancing to further interviews. Best case is that the next step is your offer. Good luck to you!

Do you actually take the time to reject people after initial interviews? Or do you wait for the candidate to reach back out to you? I’ve noticed a lot of agencies don’t seem to follow up

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
