Guides for candidates
Short guides for job candidates: check a company's hiring process before you apply, how long to wait, being ghosted, red flags, and sharing what happened.
- How to check a company's hiring process before you applyBefore you spend hours on an application, see what happened to other candidates: rounds, waiting, replies, feedback, unpaid tasks.
- How long to wait after an interview, and when to follow upThere is no universal waiting time after an interview. Ask for the timeline, follow up once when it passes, and see what candidates at that company went through.
- Ghosted after an interview? What it means and what to doNo reply after your interview, not even to a follow-up? What counts as ghosting, how common it is, what to do next, and how to see it coming.
- Red flags in a hiring processThe red flags candidates pick when they share a hiring process, what each one means, and questions to ask before you spend more time on it.
- Share what happened in your hiring processAbout a minute, mostly taps, and your name never shows. Tell the next candidate what a company's hiring process was really like.
