When can I expect to hear back from the hiring department?

The timeline for hearing back from the hiring department can vary, but generally:

– Initial acknowledgment: Typically received immediately or shortly after applying, confirming receipt of your application.
– Screening and review: Can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the volume of applications.
– Interview scheduling: Usually within a few weeks of the application deadline.
– Interview feedback: Provided within a few days to a few weeks after the interview.
– Offer stage: Typically within a few weeks of the final interview.

If you haven’t heard back within a reasonable timeframe, it’s okay to follow up politely to inquire about the status of your application.
