Completely fair question!

Companies on Candid vary in hiring team size, some are also managing hiring alongside their day to day roles, so response times can naturally vary depending on how busy they are or who it is on the other side.

That said, a slower reply doesn’t mean they’re not interested.

If you haven’t heard back yet, a couple of things that can help:

  • Sending the first message if you haven’t already

  • Following up with a quick nudge

  • Asking a specific question to restart the conversation

Candid is designed to give you more control, so you’re not just waiting around - you can actively move things forward.

And if something feels off, you can always reach out to the team at Candid and we’ll happily take a look for you 💛
