How long does it take to schedule second interview?
It usually takes about a week or two after the first interview for hiring teams to decide about second-round interviews. Focus on sending thank-yous and helpful information, not nagging them about their decision timeline.
When should you follow up about interview scheduling?
The interview isn’t actually over. Always follow up within 24 hours with the thank you email to the hiring manager. This can be a quick note simply thanking them for their time.
What if a job is not offered after the second interview?
If a job is not offered to you at the end of the second interview, do ask when the hiring managers expect to make a final decision and when you should expect to hear back from them. •DO call employers if you don’t get a decision within a reasonable amount of time.
Why is my employer taking so long to respond to interviews?
Extended waiting after an interview for a response can occur for several reasons, including: The interviewer is still interviewing candidates. The employer is still collecting feedback from the interviewer. The employer is busy with work matters outside the hiring process. The employer has not made a final decision.
What happens if you don’t schedule an interview?
That is a thing that happens — some employers will not bother interviewing people who don’t make it really easy to schedule an interview, meaning that if you turn down the first offered date, you may not hear from them again. To be clear, for most jobs that’s really poor practice.
Does scheduling interviews make the hiring process take longer?
Honestly, employers that are good to work for don’t expect their candidates to drop everything to attend an interview slot. Yes, it does make the hiring process take longer, but I think a company gets better candidates if they are flexible in scheduling interviews.
