Need some quick opinions from the hive.

Had a nice phone interview for a new job yesterday. Seemed to go well; my experience was very relevant and the interview was pretty low-pressure. The recruiter for the company told me they would be e-mailing over a questionnaire for me to complete, and then they would be passing my info on to the hiring manager. We discussed the timeframe for completing the questionnaire and I said I could complete it yesterday night. About an hour after the call ended, I sent a personal thank-you e-mail and said I would be anticipating the evaluation.

It has now been a day and a half and I've not received any follow up, nor the questionnaire I was told to expect.

How long should I wait to send a gentle "hey, should I still be expecting that questionnaire" e-mail?

I have multiple irons in the fire so I won't be heartbroken if this opportunity fizzles out, it just seemed like a nice position in a company with incredible employee benefits so I don't want to neglect it. And the tone of our conversation wasn't a "we'll be in touch..." as much as a "expect this follow up very soon" so I'm puzzled. Don't want to be too inquisitive but don't want to be too hands off. How long would you wait?

I'd give them two business days.

Also make sure you check your spam/junk just in case.

I've been staying on top of the junk folder, nothing there. Two business days sounds about right though. I'll probably shoot a message over this time tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for the help guys.

You'll need to log in to post.
