If you haven't heard anything 2 weeks after sending in your resume, then contact to the hiring manager or your contact at the agency. Send a polite email or call them to kindly request an update. They should be able to tell you if the position has been filled or if they are still considering you.
I recently applied for Position at Company and would like to follow up and confirm that my application was received. If the position is still available, I would love to discuss it further with you. My time as a Former Job Title at Former Company Name makes me a great match for this role.
Wait a Reasonable Amount of Time: Allow a few days to a week for HR to respond. Sometimes, internal processes can cause delays. Follow Up with a Polite Email: If you haven't heard back after a week, send a polite follow-up email.
Unless you're signing a contract of employment or are being given some kind of sign on bonus that needs to be repaid, there is nothing to stop you from accepting a job offer and then backing out.
On average, most companies will call their preferred candidate with a job offer within 24 days. Some industries see a shorter timeline (within 2 weeks) while others go beyond 30 days. The key thing to remember—you likely won't get a job offer within 1 day (less than 4% of candidates see that kind of speed).
Job application follow-up Don't wait for feedback, go looking for it! If it's a week or two past the deadline, it's time to get an update by reaching out to the employer with a polite and succinct job application follow-up email. This way, you won't be forgotten, and you can get closure if you're not the right fit.
2 weeks is professionally standard, regardless of how long you've been at a company. On some occasions, less than 2 weeks is also acceptable. I am a recruiter, and what I tell people is that you have to do what is ultimately right for your career.
If the HR doesn't reply after a job offer, consider sending a polite follow-up email expressing your continued interest in the position and seeking clarification on the next steps or the expected timeline for a response. Avoid being too persistent, but demonstrate your eagerness and professionalism.
Craft a compelling message Start by thanking the hiring manager for considering your application. Mention specific aspects of the job or company that appeal to you. Briefly reiterate your qualifications and explain why you would be a good fit for the role. Offer to provide additional information or references if needed.
Here are some tips for sending an effective follow-up email after no response: Keep it brief and to-the-point. Avoid long explanations - just reiterate your original request or query in 2-3 sentences. Politely reference your previous email, including the date you sent it.
