Does Hr evaluate the job applications by the date received?

[Anonymous]

I and one of my friends applied the same posting days ago. She just applied 1-2 days before me. Today they closed the posting and my Friends got an interview invitation via email. Do i have still chances to get an invitation or they shortlisted them all and send emails today?

HR processes can vary between organizations, so timing may differ. Typically, HR evaluates applications based on various criteria rather than solely the date received. Your friend receiving an interview invitation doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running. They might still be in the process of reviewing applications. It's reasonable to follow up with HR to inquire about your application's status if you haven't heard back soon. Stay positive and continue exploring other opportunities while waiting for their response.

yeah you definitely still have a chance. date isn't a factor unless you sent in your application after they closed the applications. they'll review all applicants and invite the best. it doesn't matter if you were first or last to apply. merit counts. not date on the application.

but they might find what they wanted in the first round and then you're out obviously.

nobody knows. It is whenever they feel like it.
