Waiting for Job Application Results: Should I Follow Up with HR Again?

PlKj
I was assigned an assignment task as part of the selection process for a job role. The task was to develop a simple application in Flutter. I submitted it on August 15, and they haven't published the result yet. I emailed the HR associate who is in charge of hiring and asked for feedback on the task and whether the result has been published. However, he hasn't replied. I messaged the general HR through LinkedIn to inquire if the result is out, but he is also not responding. Why? There was a one-week holiday for them. Should I email the HR again?

The company alone makes the decision on when they will contact candidates for various reasons. None of us work for your prospective employer, so we cannot assist you.

No amount of badgering them will expedite your answer; they will let you know when they are ready, and not before.

In the meantime, you should be mindful of keeping your options open in case they ultimately decide you are not a good fit for their organization. You should be actively searching for other positions as you may find something that meets your needs even better than this one.
