It is not easy to know which foot to dance when you get out of a job interview. When should we relaunch a recruiter? It must be said that it is an (almost) exact science, which has even been theorized by one of the most popular universities in the world: Harvard. We reveal some secrets to you!
That’s it, you did: after a long recruitment process and a most stressful job interview, you are finally free … well, almost.
You must now wait for a return from your possible future boss. And it can take several days. This is probably the most stressful part of the process! But, according to Harvard, it is better not to rush. On the contrary. The very popular American university even recommends setting up a very precise routine after this fateful moment. Some reflexes would even be unstoppable in this case. So how to transform a good impression into a real hiring? Here are some key keys, if we believe the teachers of one of the most rated college in the world.
First of all, after the interview, it is fashionable to write a thank you email, in short and courteous. This is called monitoring an interview and, contrary to popular belief, it does not only want recruiters. But then again, there is no point in running. According to experts, patience, subtlety and tact are therefore the three keys to success in this kind of process. A science that we therefore strongly advise you to follow. In short and concise, this recovery message must simply reaffirm your interest in the position, and confirm your availability. Neither more nor less!
But when is it advisable to send this kind of email? According to Harvard University, this kind of email is only formulated 24 hours after the interview … and not before! But the path does not stop there. You can return subtly after a week without news from your recruiter.
But beware, if you send a message before this time, you may give the impression of harassing your interlocutor. And therefore, to miss the post of your dreams. Squares confirmed by a study conducted recently by Officeteam. She indicates that most recruiters expect a first recovery from their candidates under eight to ten days … Again, not before!
