If you haven’t already, shoot a thank you email and maybe mention reasons you fit the role

bribery? blackmail? if you were someone with these propensities, you'd know already and you wouldn't be asking. just send a thank you note expressing your interest and wait.

Thank you, I made sure to send one the day of the interview.

nope, do nothing.

seriously.

if I had a candidate who kept following up after sending a thank you note, it would make me really question why they were reaching out. your interviewers want a clean inbox, not more emails from you.

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

10 open Leadership Supervisor positions.
Almost 30 applicants.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?
