How do I contact the hiring manager or follow up on my application?

Learn how to reach a hiring manager or follow up on a job application you submitted through Wizehire.

Written by Tamalyn Holcomb

Overview

Wizehire is the platform where you applied, but the employer manages their own hiring decisions and candidate communication. Wizehire doesn't have a separate channel to reach hiring managers directly. The fastest way to follow up is to reply to the emails you already received about that application.

Reply to your application emails

  • Find the confirmation email or any other message you received about that application

  • Reply directly to it

  • Your reply goes to the employer's hiring team, not to Wizehire

šŸ’” Helpful note: This works because each application's correspondence is tied to that specific job and employer. Replying keeps your message with the right hiring team, even if you've applied to more than one job through Wizehire.

Check your Jobseeker account for status

  • Sign in to your Jobseeker account to see your application history

  • Each application shows the job title, company, and the stage you've set (Applied, Interviewing, Received offer, Hired, or Rejected)

šŸ’” Helpful note: This stage is something you set yourself. It's private to you and isn't connected to the employer's hiring dashboard, so it won't automatically reflect a decision the employer has made.

If you haven't heard back

  • Check your spam or junk folder first. Employers sometimes send updates that get filtered.

  • Keep in mind employers aren't required to respond to every applicant individually, so no response doesn't always mean no.

  • If it's been a while, one follow up reply to your original application email is reasonable.

šŸ’” Helpful note: If anyone asks you to pay money, share financial details, or download an unfamiliar app to keep the conversation going, stop and see How can I avoid job scams?

Common Questions

Can I get the employer's phone number through Wizehire?

No. Wizehire doesn't share direct contact details for employers. Reply to your application emails to reach the hiring team.

What if I haven't received any emails since I applied?

Check your spam or junk folder first. If there's nothing there, the employer may not have reviewed your application yet. Employers aren't required to respond to every applicant right away.

How do I check the status of my application?

Sign in to your Jobseeker account to see your application history. The stage shown there is one you set yourself, it isn't synced with the employer's decision.

How many times should I follow up?

One follow up reply is reasonable. If you still don't hear back, the employer has likely moved forward with other candidates or hasn't made a decision yet.

Is it safe to keep replying to these emails?

Yes, as long as the employer is asking about standard next steps. If anything feels off, like requests for money or personal financial information, see How can I avoid job scams.
