Job seekers, have you ever received a reply to your thank you email after the interviews? Or is this a ‘thing’ that interviewers never do. Like an something you could write a Seinfeld episode to. Where Elaine tells Jerry she replied all to a candidate after she received a thank you email, and he freaks out. Jerry then tells everyone which elicits the same response?

I’ve definitely received replies and also given replies to people I’ve interviewed and liked. I try to make the thank you notes personalized and entertaining so they don’t feel like a template.

You never know when you’ll see these candidates again. Plus you don’t always have the final say as to whether they get the offer so it’s a good opportunity to spread some goodwill if you liked them.

I’ve gotten a few here and there. Maybe 20% of the time. It’s always puzzled me why people don’t just reply, especially if you liked me and want to make an offer.

Yes, it’s like a code that must be followed, which is weird if the employer wants to shortlist a candidate but feels it must ‘micro-ghost’ because, well, that’s just how it’s done.

I think I have once, but ended up not getting the job anyway 🥴

Ive definitely gotten responses to thank you notes, but usually from CDs i interview with and occasionally a recruiter, but VERY rarely, especially if its an active interview process. Never from gcds+ though

I did once or twice, but I definitely didn’t get those jobs

The couple times I have gotten a reply, it was because I was getting an offer. I think they are more likely to respond if you are moving onto the next round/they want to make an offer to you otherwise company policy is usually to ghost until they send the "We selected other people" message.

I get responses from recruiters if they want move forward with next steps. With creatives CDs it’s 50/50 depending on if there’s next steps from them

So, if they want to move you into the next round, how long after the thank you email do they usually tell you? 1 week?

When I was an EA/applying for EA roles I rarely got a reply unless I flat out smashed it. Since moving into production I get a reply to my thank you notes more often than not.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
