How many days after a first round interview do you expect to never hear again from the recruiter if you haven’t heard anything?

I waited 5 weeks to hear back on a next round interview - that said, its for a client side role so not the speed of agencies. My advice: thank you note sent the day after interview. Second followup note sent a week after that. Third (and final) followup note that continues to express your interest and even a few creative/strategic suggestions for the brand/role to be sent a week after that. In the third followup, you can also drop a line enquiring as to whether the role was still open and/or if they’d be willing to share any feedback with you as a candidate. good luck 👍

Pretty sure everyone at grey is interviewing rn so might not be the same person.

If you’re the “Grey” who was told you’d hear back Friday, reached out yesterday and have still heard nothing, you should probably try to move on... the recruiter could very well be waiting to hear back and doesn’t want to respond until she / he has all the info, but the way recruiters act lately, you should think about cutting your losses. Sorry to say

2 days. They should give you feedback and next steps, even if that means they are still interviewing other candidates.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
