Is it now normal practice not to receive a response after interview?

Karen

Is it normal practice now to not receive a response from a face to face interview if you are unsuccessful?  I recently qualified in Level 3 and trying to get into HR.  I feel that this is rude and unprofessional that I have attended two interviews without having any response especially as these are for HR positions.

  • Hi Karen,

    I have experienced this multiple times and completely share your frustration and agree with you that it is very unprofessional to operate like that and as you say, if the interviewer is a HR professional its even worse. When you have taken the time to prepare and attend an interview (usually at a cost to yourself in terms of transport and time which could ,mean taking annual leave to attend an interview) it is extremely annoying. The waiting after an interview is difficult enough as you feel as though you are in limbo as to whether you should continue looking or wait for them to get back to you first.

    If you haven't already I would suggest you contact the interviewer/ recruiter asking if there is any update or feedback. Other than that there isn't much you can do but to move on with your search. The way I look at it is if they cannot take a few minutes to provide constructive feedback then they really aren't the sort of company/ person I want to work with or for.
