Definition

No response after interview usually means the employer has not finalized next steps or is prioritizing other hiring tasks.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

Interview feedback is often being collected, compared across candidates, and reviewed with approval stakeholders.

Why it stays in this status

Scheduling delays, internal alignment, and requisition changes commonly slow communication.

How long it usually lasts

It often lasts one to three weeks, though timing can vary by role level and hiring volume.

What usually doesn’t help

Sending frequent messages across multiple channels usually does not accelerate a final decision.

When action might make sense

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.
