Follow-up email after a phone screen

A recruiter call is a good sign. A short thank-you keeps you top of mind while they decide who moves to the next round.

After a recruiter call

Subject: Great speaking with you: [Role] at [Company]

Hi [Recruiter's name],

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today about the [Role] position. I enjoyed learning more about [something specific from the call: the team, the role's focus, a project they mentioned], and it's reinforced how excited I am about the opportunity.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me as you move forward. Looking forward to next steps.

Best,
[Your name]

Tips

Timing: send within 24 hours of the call, while it's still fresh for both of you.
Be specific: reference one real detail from the conversation. It signals you were actually listening, not sending a form letter.
If it goes quiet after this: give it 3-5 business days, then use the follow-up after interview template. The cadence is the same either way.

Followup logs every phone screen and interview and reminds you exactly when to check back in, no spreadsheet required.
