Should I message hiring manager directly?
Hi all, I hope you are doing well.
I finished loop/panel interview at a big company 3 weeks ago. I havent heard back yet, so Im assuming its over.
I just wonder if I should message hiring manager directly on Linkedin and ask for feedback.
Usually I dont do this as I understand managers are busy and I should not bother them.
However, he sent connection request first after our initial talk. And before my panel interview, he wished me luck and said him and other team member supporting me. I took that as a positive sign and sent him a thank you note afterward, to which he replied quickly.
Given that, I was wondering as a manager, if you were in his shoe, would you be receptive for a candidate to ask for feedback directly?
