I got an email back after applying at Zillow. The email came directly from a hiring manager and wants to confirm my number and some time that I can talk. I can’t find the person on linked in, and I thought it was strange it was a hiring manager and not a recruiter. Do you think this is a scam?
Check if they have a Zillow email. Sometimes hiring managers reach out directly
Is the email handle @zillowgroup.com? Also the first part is her first name and the first two letters of her last name
Format sounds legit. Dm me the email and I can let you know if the person works here if you want to be super sure.
It's not unusual for HM to reach out for first contact. Most often it's a recruiter but half the time HMs review candidate resumes they like before the recruiter reaches out anyway. Could be that recruiter has a lot on their plate, the HM could want to just get to it, the recruiter could be out, could be a lot of things. No LinkedIn didn't get hacked. Also there's still plenty of people who aren't on LinkedIn and some who are especially hard to find.
Check the email handle. If it’s @z1llowgroup.com run
Some areas are hiring aggressively, so this wouldn’t surprise me
Sometimes folks use an alias for their linkedin accounts.
We have almost no recruiters left so Hm are doing a lot of screening. Likely legit.
This is not true, at all.
Lol it’s 100% true. My manger has had to source all candidates and do screenings. At that point it’s handed over to recruiting.
Your hiring manager has probably seen this by now.
Typically a Recruiting Coordinator will reach out to get your availability that lines up with the interviewer(s) schedule. All emails should come from ZillowGroup.com or another ZG business. Feel free to DM and I check the status of your application.

Metamate- cringe max posts by this wannabe influencer
If you applied through the legitimate Zillow website, why would some random person not affiliated with Zillow email you about a job there?
Maybe Linked In got hacked and someone can see where I have applied and is trying to get personal details I can over think things sometimes … Also it came through at midnight and the email looks strange.
Lmao 🤣. Way overthinking.
