    The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I’d never write someone off because they didn’t send me a thank-you email. Geez.

      If you had two very close candidates, and one sent you a followup email making their case specific to the job, that wouldn’t sway you?

          That’s definitely not a common thing, unless you’re fielding a new team or division. There is a limit though, yeah? So it could be a deciding factor even when hiring multiple positions from the same pool of candidates.

          Every thank you letter I’ve sent wasn’t a thank you letter at all. I call back to specific things the interviewer said during our interview, and make it one last opportunity to pitch myself as the best candidate.
