I sent a follow up thanking them for the time right after the process, I’ll follow up sometime next week I suppose

I don’t have the contact information of the managers and directors I interviewed with, should I send a thank you to the recruiter?

After 2 - 3 days, follow up with HR. Understand that after the interview, the interviewer will have to fill in a feedback sheet and share to HR. They may take a day or so to do that, since they have to do their day jobs. Once the feedback is received, HR will also take some time to respond with next steps.
In general, I have seen that if no response after a week, probably I didn’t clear.

Same day thank you note then 2-3 business day follow up

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.
