Interviewed on 10/13, had a follow up with HM on 10/15 who said they’d be making their decision “end of next week”. Haven’t heard anything still. Do I follow up (politely) or wait?

Keep chasing! Give it a few more days and politely nudge the hiring manager and your contact in their recruitment / HR team (if any)

Agree with the senior recruiter above. Politely let them known if your interest…some HMs wait for this to see who is interested🤔

Certainly reach out. It won't hurt your chances, and might actually help by demonstrating you are still interested.

Absolutely follow up, tactfully of course

I believe in the job market and the job market going back at least 5 years this is all too common. I can name countless interviews and phone screens I participated in and was later ghosted. I can also name countless times I got the “we’re sorry, your qualifications don’t meet the requirements for the role” within seconds or 24 hours of submitting my resume. I think the pandemic resulted in a ton of layoffs across the HR/Recruiting field since that is a non profit generating department in most businesses. As a result, candidates are left with recruiters who are responsible for handling too heavy of a workload. Many companies also have policies against anyone reaching out to the candidate besides the recruiter. In this market, as a candidate, we are bottom of the barrel when it comes to priority unless you were the one selected. What this means is, little communication, no feedback about why you weren’t selected, and no opportunity to figure out what went wrong so you can improve it moving forward. It’s a bad setup for all involved. However, as a candidate, apply to whatever your interested in, follow up afterwards, but don’t stop on your other prospects until you have an offer letter you are super happy with. Even if you have an offer, If it’s not what you wanted, negotiate it, and until negotiations are complete and you have signed, you should always keep pushing forward on your other options. Being a candidate in todays market is a painful experience, unless you are high value tech or executive talent which then creates a whole different experience as companies are generally competing for your attention versus you competing for theirs.
