I understanding being polite, but why do recruiters say specific things like “I will be reaching out to you by 5 PM tonight about next steps” with no follow up at all?

For me, often the hiring manager says “hang on before you get back to them.” Or some other dumb shift happens — they decide to re write the brief, change the budget or just noodle w stuff. And am just sitting here — waiting to get back to the 10 people I interviewed. It sucks on this end too!

I feel this comes from a lack of investment in the candidate experience. The hiring managers I work with are so focused on the rest of their day to day tasks that they forget that there is a real person waiting on the other end for a decision from us. Often times I’ve lost good talent over delays like this because we waited too long and they took an offer elsewhere.

I agree 100% with T.A.S. 1, and included some more feedback as I worked with Junior Hiring Managers all the way to SEVP's and in almost 90% of the cases where I also said I would get back to you as the candidate by 5pm, the delay and ghosting in a sense, was always due to the hiring manager, their manager, or some external to me, delay.

However, I would often call or email the next day and say no more than that I apologize, but I'm still waiting on next steps and once I receive them I will reach out ASAP.

But sometimes then a week goes by and I start to feel really bad about the situation and that's when the consultative aspect of a great recruiter really shines, in being an advocate for both sides, allowing a win-win for all involved (or at least the one getting the offer).

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
