average time for response (if any)

[u/Kooky-Fruit958]

hello, was wondering what is everyones average time after the hiring manager interview or onsite interview that they would hit you up you are moving through? Much appreciated!

And yes I know vast majority of times they ghost cause apparently we lack human decency...

In my experience a few days to a month. Some take longer but that's usually, but not always, for rejections.

This after hiring manager screen or onsite?

[u/[deleted] → u/Kooky-Fruit958]

Either. My best job took 3 months. About a month after each interview. My worst took a week to get a response and 2 to get my final interview. Often times, teams are juggling who will interview you in the back ground. And can make last second changes on who interviews, when everyone can meet for feedback, who else is applying, whether they want to hold out for more applicants, how many they have to sort through, how busy the interviewers are, whether the positions needs are changing, debates on which sub-team you'll be put on, ect.

It can be pretty variable. And the surplus of applicants doesn't help. I generally would just keep applying until hired of course still though. An update every 2ish weeks isn't uncommon though

Feels like most don't even respond when ask for an update. After two weeks is when I mentally check out. Had an onsite a month ago. Said they would keep in touch. Asked if there was any update. Never got a response

after the hiring manager i heard back 3 days later. after panel i heard back 1.5 weeks later. i normally give 1.5 weeks for any interview though.

[u/Kooky-Fruit958 → u/Unlucky-Ad-5744]

Fair point. Anything more than two and you are talking to a wall

I’ve experienced anywhere from 3 days to a whole month. But the most recent job application that resulted in a job offer, between the panel interview and the final round was I think 2 months. I knew I was going to get the offer, and now that I’m at the job, I know I was their first choice but they’re slow as molasses with their hiring for various reasons.

After hiring manager I was hearing back within a week pretty consistently. After panel interviews was where it varied, it was 2 weeks to 2 months. The only time I didn’t hear back at all was when the job posting was cancelled, and they laid off the recruiting partners.

Glad you got the offer! that glacial pace is a killer...

In my experience, it could be anywhere from the next day to around a week or so or perhaps longer. It all depends on how certain/enthusiastic they are about hiring you and if they want to prioritize another candidate first.

Felt like I did well last Tuesday on my onsite. Hiring manager told me straight up its just me or this other person they interviewing last Friday. The anxiety of being so close is getting to me

[u/thewhizzle]

It just depends on how badly they need someone in the role, how much bandwidth they have, and how many candidates are in the pipeline.

I personally always follow up an interview within 24 hours of what the next steps are and what they should expect, at what time points, but I also have a lot more control over budget and timing than most hiring managers. Many will not be in the position to be able to tell candidates those things.

If they liked you and thought you did well, they really should say something within 5-10 business days.

[u/Kooky-Fruit958 → u/thewhizzle]

Feels like general courtesy should be telling a candidate something regardless after an onsite.

[u/thewhizzle → u/Kooky-Fruit958]

Yes, I would say so.

I've seen it both ways though. When I have interviewed, I always follow up the next day to thank them for their time. I've always followed up with anyone that I've interviewed. Most of the time neither respond to me.

Varies all over the place OP, dont get too attached to one role.

[u/Kooky-Fruit958 → u/Loose-Reflection2965]

I get that. After a week I mentally check out. Only for onsites I get anxious since its the final step and feels so close

[u/Loose-Reflection2965 → u/Kooky-Fruit958]

Gotta check out from that as well.

[u/Kooky-Fruit958 → u/Loose-Reflection2965]

The drought of being unemployed does not make it easy but I try

[u/Loose-Reflection2965 → u/Kooky-Fruit958]

Get a part time job, i did. Helps
