When to ask for an update for a role? For recruiters, I recently went through two interviews for a company. I believe the interviews went great, and I want to check and see if the HR and Director have made a choice on candidates. The HR person responded last week saying they would make a choice this week. Would it be too soon to check in with them? I don't want to seem pushy but I also want them to know I'm very interested.

Today is only the first day of the week, so if they said they'd decide this week, it might be a bit early. Maybe check in on Thursday or Friday, that would indicate you're eager but not overly aggressive.

Thanks for the reply.

I would probably wait until the end of this week if they told you it would be made this week. If you don't hear back by Friday then I woudl send an email and ask them if they have made a decision yet. With there being a holiday sometimes it can take a little longer because people are often out of the office.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
