I had an interview this week and the employer said they would call by Friday. If they don’t call do I assume they went with another candidate? Do they typically send rejection emails or some sort of courtesy call stating they’ve gone in a different direction? Do I follow up next week? I hadn’t interviewed for a job in 10 years as I’ve been working for my current hospital for that period of time, so this is new territory for me.

Not necessarily. Fridays are pretty busy. Well every day is busy. Lol. Reach out on Monday if you don’t hear back. Good luck.

Thank you I’ll reach out next week then.

Recruiters get slammed with requests and sometimes have trouble circling back to everyone. Best to send a polite email on Monday just saying how much you enjoyed the conversation and wondered when you might hear back.

I wouldn’t take it personally if they went with someone else. Sometimes it’s near impossible to pick between two or three perfect candidates.

Makes sense, thank you for your response. I’m pretty good with rejection, but I also really wanted this position lol. But no offense will be taken if I’m not chosen, like you said, some times it’s hard for them to even choose.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
