Do BB reject final candidates through email or phone call?

For those who failed before final-round, probably they'd get the rejection news through an email, but what about the very few who made it to the final, will BB reject them through a phone call/ an email?
And normally will they reject the final candidates after having hired someone? or will they reject them on the same day they give the offer to someone else?
Thanks

 
westcoaster:
I had two Blackrock interviews over a week ago thru OCR and still haven't heard anything, had a final round at PE 1.5 weeks ago and basically know I'm on hold, and still waiting to hear over a week from fidelity...
same deal, different firm. should i continue to wait or call at this point?

Here's my personal situation:

Interviewed two Friday's ago at Fidelity. Got a call-back last Friday late-in-day but was on a phone interview at the time and didn't get off until after 5pm and recruiter was out of office. Recruiter left vm and included her cell number but has not returned call yet, probably because it's President's Day today. Got a reply last Monday to a thank you letter I sent to VP I interviewed with which said the recruiter "should be in touch soon with next steps."

Any thoughts on the likelihood of an offer? I didn't think the interviews went very well but this seems positive, right? I'll know within 24 hours but want the position so badly that I'm getting a bit anxious.

Whether it's phone, email, or mail, ask yourself this question: What's the difference?

The decision's been made, and you can't do anything about it. So chill out and go have a beer.

On a side note, HR left me a VM once for call back, only to get rejected...

 

True. Had the final round at Morgan Stanley (full-time trading) and they never got back to me. That's just insulting! You pass two rounds, go to the final and you can't even get a feedback. Called them, told me they'd call me back. Never did. Fukc'em!

And usually it's the same. Otherwise it's by email. The only bank that called me what GS to reject me. Had a voicemail telling "i have a feedback for you, call me back". Called her, told me "you didn't pass, thank you for calling". Fukc you too!

 

I cant believe such large, well established banks just say absolutely nothing after interviews. You pass through the rounds, just dreaming about what the job is going to be like, make it to a superday and they refuse to even send you an email that takes 30 seconds to send to a dozen rejected candidates. All the while ignoring calls/emails and making these kids still think they have a chance

 

I've not heard of firms not responding (well not BB banks in reference to graduate schemes).

OP it varies bank to bank. If it was a final round interview (with a BB) most call for an offer. Some call to reject, some email. But if its the final round you are usually entitled to feedback by the firm (in the case of most companies running graduate schemes).

note - this is for the UK, but I'd imagine it would be the same worldwide.

 

To add to my early comment, when I say it varies from firm to firm I should mention the size of the firm matters. If it's a large firm, it has an HR group that has spelled out procedures for offers and rejections. Smaller firms are much looser when it comes to hiring procedures - that's where you will often hear nothing unless you ask.

Regardless, it can't hurt to call or email your primary contact at the company to follow-up if you haven't heard anything.

The waiting is definitely the worst part. Good luck.
