I spoke to a Salesforce recruiter a few weeks ago but haven’t heard from them since. I logged into my account and read that my application was still “under consideration.” Not sure how I can reach out, or whom to reach out to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I contacted the recruiter through a LinkedIn note while trying to connect but haven’t been added. #securityengineer

  • Salesforce interviews are relatively easy but it is really hard to get an interview.. so .. good luck 🤞

  • If you spoke to a recruiter a few weeks ago, I would check in with them via email if they contacted you through there. If you don’t hear from them within a few days, I would move on and take it as a no. But don’t give up!

      I spoke to the recruiter through a phone call. He told me that he was sending my resume to the managers but to not expect them to contact me that week since it was thanksgiving week. I reached out through LinkedIn because I don’t have their email. but haven’t heard back. I’m wondering if they’re just taking longer because it is holiday season.

    • My experience with SF recruiters (and just recruiters overall) is that they keep things moving. Thanksgiving weekend was awhile ago, which is why I recommend checking in and moving on if you don’t hear back.

  • It's Christmas. Nothing is going to move at this time of year, relax.

  • Less than 0.5% of applications make it. That’s statistically harder to get into SFDC than Harvard. Whooop 🚀

    • This applies to like every major company. Let’s not pretend we have some high bar

    • 0.5%? I highly doubt it, at least for software engineering. Sales might be harder. It might be easier now due to high attribution rate and there’s tons of open positions. From what I recall, I got contacted by a recruiter right after I applied online.
