Question

How long until employees response to your job applications? ​

Answer 1

one to two weeks
The average length of time it takes to hear back is one to two weeks or around 10-14 days after you submit your application materials. In contrast, certain jobs, like those for government positions could take as long as six to eight weeks to hear back.

Answer 2

It will depend.

Is there a close date or are applications being accepted on a rolling basis?

How many applicants applied? (I know you won't know this, but it can definitely have an effect on response time)

Does the company have a policy of sending responses to all applicants, or just to ones who are "interesting" in some way?

Are you a candidate that is so perfectly matched to the opening that whoever opens your materials will be in a huge hurry to call you?Or are you a marginally qualified applicant, or one who applied quickly or shoddily? Are you a serial applier?

Are you applying to a small company or a huge firm?
