Cold email question - Partner at a firm

I cold emailed a partner at a firm this morning, and got a pretty quick response from him. All it said was,

"____, someone from HR will contact you shortly."

Is this a good or a bad sign? And when should I expect to hear from HR?

 

it's a bad sign, he's passing you off, you want to speak to him directly, he's not going to go to bat for you just off that, you need to get him to like you, build a rapport with him. ergo, bad sign.
