Technology follow-up
Following up on a Meta application
A short, polite note five business days after you apply. Here is a template you can send.
Dayfive is not affiliated with Meta and has no inside knowledge of how it hires. This is general advice for technology employers.
When to send
Five business days after you apply. One more note around day ten if nobody replies, then a short closure note and let it rest. Check your dates.
Who to send it to
Write to the recruiter on the role, or the hiring manager if you know them. If you cannot find a person, reply on the thread from your application confirmation.

Tips for technology roles
- Large tech employers often run many openings at once, so include the job ID.
- A referral from a current employee is worth asking for before you apply.
- Keep it under 80 words with one ask.
