His current job is contracted through the state government, and I think it was a little over a month between application and call. I always wonder why it takes that long, but I know nothing about HR! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929636 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 16:53:55 +0000 Smurfette 1929636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: ha, if it is a government months! My friend applied for a federal job, and 5 months later she got an interview. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929631 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 16:52:02 +0000 photojane 1929631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! It's actually a government job, so I'm thinking it will take even longer. It is a pretty essential job, but I know the government doesn't rush to do anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929491 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:32:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1929491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on the company and their HR processes. Typically on average it's about 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the company, other reqs, etc. I've also seen extremes as within days, to months long processes, or even calls after a year if they don't refresh their systems for old job reqs.</p> <p> :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929486 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:31:36 +0000 avivoca 1929486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends. I've gotten calls or emails for an interview as soon as a couple of days after applying, but sometimes it's at least a week until I hear something, a week or so for the interview, and then two weeks after the interviews have been completed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929484 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:29:43 +0000 cmomma17 1929484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: good luck to your DH!</p> <p>I'm curious about this too because I also applied for a job on the 28th! I tend to lose hope after 2 weeks personally :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929461 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:16:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1929461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had call backs immediately after submitting my resume and months after submitting. Once I applied in April and was interviewed in August.</p> <p>Good luck to your hubby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929457 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:14:33 +0000 LemonLong 1929457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends how busy I am, how many applications were received, how pressing the need to get someone in place is, etc.<br /> I've interviewed and hired within 2 weeks of closing before, but I know I just got a new job in the same company and it took them three months to hire me. Really depends on the variables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hr-bees-application-to-interview-call-timeline#post-1929447 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 15:09:33 +0000 photojane 1929447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband recently applied for a new job, and I'm just wondering what the typical timeline looks like between applying and getting a call. He applied on the 28th, and the job posting closed on the 31st. I assume they weren't even looking at applications until the closing date.</p> <p>So, HR bees, after a posting closes, how long before you actually start making calls? </p>
