Positions Many companies will get back to candidates within two weeks of the office visit with an offer or a rejection. This is an average.
Some companies offer jobs on the spot, while others take up to a month to respond.
It is, therefore, a good idea for candidates to find out how long they can expect to wait to hear from the company regarding an employment decision. The candidate should feel free to contact the company to check on delays if the estimated decision date passes with no response. In order to effectively assess the offers you receive, you should consider ALL the facets of the offer. Factors such as compensation, location, prestige and long-term opportunity all affect the decision process. Exploding offers' often make employment decisions difficult, as they expire after a certain date and force quick decision making on the part of the candidate.
