A good follow-up reminds the recruiter who you are and makes the next action easy. Mention the role you discussed and a specific detail from the conversation.
Put it into practice
- Use a clear subject line containing your name and the job title.
- Thank the recruiter briefly, connect one skill to the opening, and confirm any application you completed.
- Ask about the next step or expected timeline. Use the employer's preferred channel and respect any instructions about follow-up.
Make the next step count
For example: “We discussed your maintenance opening at the Southfield event. I submitted the application this afternoon. My equipment inspection experience matches the daily checks you described. Please let me know if you need additional information.” Avoid sending repeated messages before the stated timeline passes.
