Would like to ask a general idea of interview response in this summer vacation period in Europe.

I did an interview last week and was said there are only a few people working in HR right now due to the summer vacation so the response might be in August.
On the other hand, in my country, usually if the result is positive, they will get back in few days, no matter they are in summer vacation or not.

The country I’m applying for is in Europe - is it common? will you please share your thoughts?

Are you from the U.S.? I’ve recruited in both markets and in general, things move much slower in Europe. Europeans use their PTO as intended and don’t work through it the way Americans do. They also have a long notice period in most European countries, so hiring isn’t done in a rush the way it is in the U.S.

Hello and thanks for your response.
Im not from the US unfortunately but used to work in the US firms so I understand. But then I still responded during the summer vacation so it’s surprising actually.
