Hiring freeze in Microsoft?

Jan 4, 2019 7 Comments

I interviewed with Microsoft on December 20th and have not heard back. The application shows “in progress” in the portal. Does anyone know if there is a freeze or something going on?

    Since holidays are over and another weekend is approaching there might be delay. Ping recruiter next week on Monday. You should be able to get answer.

  • I’d imagine that depends on the org you interviewed with. December 20 is right around the time the entire company takes vacation, so consider those two weeks as 0 business days passing.

    There is no hiring freeze at the moment. The exact opposite is happening, Microsoft is on a hiring spree.

    I think your case is just delayed because of the holidays. Wait till Monday next week and contact the recruiter

    Holidays, the entire company doesn't take a hiatus, but it feels like they do.
