This has happened to me multiple times during my on going job search. It seems that alot of companies are using third party recruiters to perform... initial screening interviews. This person does not work for the company you are applying to, they simply are vetting your application based on requirements provided for the job. They tell you someone will contact you within a few days to further discuss your application, but then the actual contact at the workplace you applied to receives the vetted applications, and choses to contact only those whom they wish to potentially hire. It's a pain, for sure, but not much you can do about it. I've tried, calling back myself, sending emails, and even texts to find out my status in the application process, to no avail . more

Old school way is to call them and not wait for them to call you..

I know things may be different than when I was in the job market 15 years ago, however, I would never wait for a call back. I would do 2 things. ... One, I would always write a thank-you note to the person who interviewed me, thanking them for the interview and letting them know why I would be a great fit for the company. I would do that as soon as the interview was over and get it in the mail. If you haven't heard from whoever interviewed you within 4 or 5 days, I would make that call, and let them know you are very interested in working for XYZ corporation and why. I have been hired many times by taking those steps. Also, I would like to add that prior to the interview, learn about the company, the job, and I love to make a comment about something personal in the office (kids pix, a collection, etc). It goes a long way!! Always dress better than the job, and speak clearly and properly. If you come across as educated over others, it will also help. Just some "helpful hints".

U could try to seek feedback using the mode of communication that was used to invite you for the interview. If it was by email, then send an email to... findout. If phone, then call back. more

I’m a recruiter and I would suggest that you email the recruiter or hiring manager instead of calling, therefore, you’re showing interest while not... unintentionally cutting into another candidate’s interview time. The email would show your interest and also as a small reminder to the hiring person that you’re available for work. Usually if a recruiter hasn’t reached out to you within a two week time period or haven’t followed up with you on the final interview that you’ve had it may mean that they are still actively interviewing, narrowing down their decision, or that the role was extended to another candidate.  more

Call them. It shows interest.

Call them. It shows interest.

I experienced something similar, I REALLY wanted this job and I went through testing and 4 interviews... I have yet to hear back from them. I don't... know how to handle this as it's never happened to me before. I'm very sad about it! more

What do you do?

Unfortunately, they found a better candidate who fits the role. Move on and dont wait for them.

HR, mostly offers you standard practice information. The next steps in the recruitment process is majorly in the hands of the recruiting... manager/department. Should the recruiting manager delay in pushing for the next stage, for instance delay the decision making process, the HR partner involved might be left with nothing much to do. Any further call before the final decision is made will only assure you that the position you are interviewed for is still not closed. 2 months ago, I offered advice to a candidate who applied to my former employer, was tested but feedback was delayed. Today, he was excited to inform me that finally a reference check is being conducted for him, after 2 months of taking the screening test, and a month after oral interviews. Therefore, keep your fingers crossed but positive while seeking out new opportunities.

Depends on the age of the interviewer. Over 50, call. 49 and under, Text. Just a quick thank you for their time and a "looking forward to my next... interview."
You can not assume you are out of the running just because the company did not get back with you in a week. You could be the second choice and a call or text could put you in front more

Follow up with a thank you to the people who interviewed you, to stay in contact. It could mean many things: Some organizations take awhile in the ... interview process, and also awhile to get back to you. Meanwhile, continue your job hunt. more

Pray about it , so your file does not get lost or be disconsidered.
Once you get to the interview, another strategy is to be upfront: make a summary... of your strategies (what you said in the interview), put it in a beautiful slide, and share it with HR as a way to professionally reconnect with them by saying:
"Thank you for the opportunity you offered to attend the last interview. Here is a summary of my responses and strategy."
Something like that.
God be with you.

If they don't call back in time, that's a definite No.

Have an open mind, let it slide and you move on.

Dont call them,they aew a busy office

If a company needs you it would call you and calling the company won't change its decision not to hire you.

CALL THEM!

I was in the same situation they had my hopes so high and I never hear back from them.
