I was told, post interview and tentative job offer, that "HR will contact you."

 

Does anyone know how long does it take for HR to contact the candidate?

Thanks for your response. Gawd I hope not that long.

If you don't hear in about a week, give them a follow up call and ask if there is any news. If they blow you off, not a good sign, but they might give you a time frame. They might have other candidates they are looking at over the next week or two, but after a couple of weeks if you don't hear anything that is a pretty good indicator it is on hold or they went a different direction.

You must be flexible and assume that HR will say that because they're job is to find who are the best. Keep applying for a job and have note for possible questions for you to be consistent.

Still haven't heard back from HR. I forgot they're conducting a criminal background check on me. And working for DOJ before those can take awhile. I think I'll hear them by the end of this week.

Anywhere from 5 minutes to 1+ years. Highly variable.

 

In my experience it's anywhere from 5 minutes to approximately never.

 

Usually I know when it's never though, when they've given me impossibly difficult tasks/questions in-interview.
