Definition

Interview completed: what happens next usually means the employer is collecting feedback and deciding whether to advance, hold, or close your candidacy.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

Interviewers often submit feedback, discuss candidate comparisons, and align on next actions with recruiting.

Why it stays in this status

Feedback delays, panel scheduling, and role-priority changes commonly extend decision timing.

How long it usually lasts

It often lasts several business days to two weeks, though some processes take longer.

What usually doesn’t help

Sending daily follow-ups usually does not speed panel reviews or internal discussions.

When action might make sense

If no timeline was shared, a concise follow-up is often reasonable after about one week from your last interview. If a timeline was shared, following up after that window is often reasonable.
