Tracking the IBM applicant status can be challenging since the firm often does not have a clear site for applicants to monitor their status. This can make the applicants anxious and uncertain which can be a negative experience affecting their overall disposition. There is little progress made that can be shared with the candidate which is more disheartening because they want to know where in the hiring process it is clear everyone is waiting.
Usually, it takes one to three weeks for feedback from the Human Resources department about the interview. This period can be altered by factors such as the number of applicants and the systems in place. I know it is not easy to wait, but the best thing to do is remain optimistic and seek other jobs. Having such a healthy attitude, without focusing on the negative aspects of the status quo, helps in this case as it allows the applicants to remain active and prepared for the possible interview, without aggressive concern.
