Following up with hiring manager after application?
Ciao Elphas, I have applied to a couple of jobs that I am particularly keen on and I have been browsing staff on LinkedIn and I now wonder if dropping an 'hello, nice company, I just applied' kind of note to the talent manager is a good idea or not... Might be perceived as too much or a signal of a very interested candidate. What would you do?
Absolutely do it :) What's the worst that could happen? They don't respond and that's it. Another high-impact thing that I always do, when looking for a role, is to email the HR person directly. These days email addresses are basically public so it's not hard to find those. :)
