Why would a recruiter send a thank you note to me when she told a day before that I will get final results next week?

[Anonymous]

I completed all my interviews last week and sent a thank you note to my interviewers through the recruiter. The recruiter acknowledged and told me that she will have final updates for me next week. She also asked if that was ok with my timeline. I told her that works for me. Today she sent me a thank you note and a gift in the form of a company link through which I could donate money (paid by this company directly) to their identified charity.
This recruiter is on vacation from tomorrow until early next week. I’m confused by her thank you note and this gift. Does this mean I’m going to be rejected?

It is common for people to send thank you notes to show they appreciate your business. They believe this will lead to more word of mouth referrals. It has nothing to do with your qualifications or probability of finding the job you want. It's just a marketing technique they probably do with everyone that comes in their office.

Thanks for dropping by. I’ll definitely take their response as a courtesy and wait for the results.

You're welcome. I hope you get the job you want.

Thank you for your kind wishes! All the best to you!

That's just common courtesy and that link is not a gift, it's begging for you to donate to a profitable company's tax write off.

Wow! I didn’t think about the tax off part. You know the insides!

I used to work HR and corporations are leeches on taxpayers. Don't look up who got the most out of COVID relief financing unless you want to feel outraged and depressed.

I’m definitely going to look it up. It’s good to know of such realities to steer through this messy world. Thanks for sharing your experience!

My pleasure. Good luck in your interview process!
