Expected Updates
Silence should never be the hiring process.
Recruiters set an expected date for the next meaningful update, so you know when you should hear back.
How it works
A shared expectation, kept honest.
- Recruiters can set a date for the next meaningful update
- You see when you should hear back
- Recruiters receive reminders — you're not pinged about overdue
- Delays can be communicated transparently
- Career Bloom doesn't fabricate reasons
