People who did their HBS interview - did your recommenders get an email from Re Vera asking them to confirm they have written their recommendations?

Some people have but mine have not and honestly a bit worried that this has disappeared into spam. Is this something all recommenders will get even before decisions are announced?

Shouldn't they have seen the recs before they sent out interviews?

Nope I did not

I wouldn’t even know how to ask my recommenders this 😕

Hello Fishes,
Just need your help
I gave two rounds of interview on 7th and 8th April and there's no update from hiring manager till date.
I asked for an update once, shall I ask again?
What shall I ask?
I'm just so confuse, earlier use to receive update in a day or so but this is the longest wait.

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster. The culture is so bad, I had an employee say they can’t even go to the bathroom without permission. I’m really not wanting to go back to a generalist role. Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!

Interviews need to be monitored and recorded. I can’t tell you how many disappointed dreams I have been sold. It is a complete waste of time to really wait around to be wishful of a call.

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…
