Thank-you email after interview — subject line and timing
Follow up without nagging: one note, one specific callback, clear subject line.
Send a thank-you email after interview within 24 hours. Thank you email after interview subject line format: "Thank you — [Role] interview — [Your Name]" so it threads cleanly in recruiter inboxes.
Body: two short paragraphs. Thank them for time, reference one specific discussion topic, reaffirm fit in one sentence, offer to provide any follow-up material. No desperation, no novel.
How long after interview to hear back
Timelines vary by company and round. If they gave a window, wait until it passes plus two business days before a polite check-in. How long after an interview should you follow up? One thank-you immediately; one status ping after the stated deadline — not daily messages.
