How it works

1

Enter the context

Share the role, company, interview date, and any timeline they gave you.

2

Select follow-up type

Choose whether this is a first follow-up, second check-in, or post-deadline inquiry.

3

Get your email

Receive a professional follow-up email that keeps you on the hiring manager's radar.

Why this matters

Most candidates either never follow up or follow up too aggressively. A well-timed, professional follow-up shows continued interest without being annoying. It also gives you a chance to resurface your candidacy if the process has stalled or the team got busy.

What you get

Timing guidance

Suggests the right time to follow up based on where you are in the interview process.

Professional tone calibration

Strikes the balance between showing interest and not being pushy.

Status inquiry framing

Asks about next steps in a way that feels natural and respectful of the hiring timeline.

Value-add content

Includes a reason to reach out beyond just asking for an update.

Tips for best results

  • 1.Wait at least one week after the timeline they gave you before following up.
  • 2.Add value in your follow-up — share a relevant article, portfolio piece, or idea related to the role.
  • 3.Keep the tone warm and understanding. Hiring processes often take longer than planned.
  • 4.If you have a competing offer, mention it briefly and professionally as a reason for the check-in.
