Not sure when to follow up after an interview?
Timing your follow-up message can make or break your chances.
Our Interview Follow-Up Calculator tells you exactly when to check in – based on your interview stage, company type, and role level.
Fast, personalized, and designed to help you follow up like a pro.
How This Calculator Works
We built this tool to take the guesswork out of when to follow up.
Because the truth is, follow-up timing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It depends on the kind of company, the seniority of the role, and where you are in the interview process.
This calculator looks at:
- Your current interview stage (whether you’ve just applied or finished a final round)
- The size of the company (startups tend to move fast, while enterprises or government roles take longer)
- The level of the job (entry-level timelines move differently than executive searches)
- Your follow-up style preference (are you assertive, or do you prefer to play it safe?)
It then combines that information with hiring patterns and best practices to recommend an ideal follow-up date, usually based on business days and excluding weekends. The goal? To help you show interest without coming off too eager—or too late.
Whether you’re waiting after your first interview or nudging them after a thank-you note, this tool gives you a personalized timing window that reflects how hiring actually works behind the scenes.
