Definition

Interview scheduled, now what usually means the team has selected your profile for direct evaluation in a timed interview process.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

Recruiting coordinators are often confirming interviewers, agenda, logistics, and feedback forms.

Why it stays in this status

Calendar coordination and panel availability commonly keep this stage unchanged until completion.

How long it usually lasts

It often lasts a few days to two weeks before the interview happens or is updated.

What usually doesn’t help

Sending frequent scheduling changes without necessity usually does not improve process speed.

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.
