What’s usually happening behind the scenes
Interviewers are often submitting scorecards, discussing tradeoffs, and aligning with recruiting on candidate progression.
Why it stays in this status
Panel availability, delayed scorecards, and internal alignment meetings commonly extend this phase.
How long it usually lasts
It often lasts several business days to two weeks, depending on interview volume and panel size.
What usually doesn’t help
Frequent follow-ups in short intervals usually do not speed interviewer submission timelines.
When to follow up
If no timeline was shared, a concise follow-up is often reasonable after about one week from your last interview. If a timeline was shared, following up after that window is often reasonable.
