Sending thank you note after interview via LinkedIn
What are your thoughts on sending your interviewers a thank you note via LinkedIn (especially if the recruiter is out of the office)? I normally try to reach back out to the interviewers before 24 hours has passed.
Depends on the interviewer. Some appreciate and respond back while some donāt. Iāve sent in the past and itās never hurt me... just my opinion though :)
Yeah...I've seen some people saying you could just reach out via LinkedIn and not necessarily request to add them as a connection, but send them a thank you note.
I always send a thank you the day after the interview to the recruiter
And you would just wait until the recruiter gets back from PTO to forward the thank you notes to the interviewers?
Their email should forward to whoever is covering
Why does one need to thank the interviewer? This seems very unnecessary
Keeps you in the light and shows you have tact and manners.
Only in tech where common courtesy is dead. No wonder there are too many assholes here. The rest of the world appreciates common courtesy and manner.
Doing something for the sake of it is pretentious. Neither parties owe anything to each other. Its business, dont take it personally and judge people
Do you hold the door for people right behind you? What about covering your mouth while sneezing or coughing? You don't owe anyone around you anything, so why do it? You're doing it to be polite. Similarly for interviews, you are sending a note to be polite. You took a part of your day to interview me and I want to acknowledge your time for it.
Donāt

My personal experience is it doesnāt matter. But if u want to u can do it either ways. I personally prefer LinkedIn as itās quick
Chessy and desperate.
You said thank you when interview ends. Thatās enough and no need of second thank you.
I think its weird to contact them on LinkedIn, I think it's ok to send something to your recruiter
Add a poll to get more opinions . Its not necessary , as a interviewer I dont like it Add another option with no thank you note.
Too late š . Thanks for the insight though
