SA Recruiting Timeline

Hi All,

I applied for a bunch of SA roles in London, explicit rejections on about 5 so far - the rest felt reasonably positive initially but may have gone cold (4 weeks+ on the oldest, 3+ on the rest)

I’m not sure what the turnaround time is for HireVues etc. but am wary that silence after “we’ll get back to you” eventually means “no”.

Would welcome any insight as to whether I’m worrying over nothing or should start making alternative plans 🙃.

Sorry if asinine question or answered elsewhere.
