A follow-up message is most useful when it reminds the employer of your interview and asks one clear question. It should be brief enough to read on a phone.
Start with the timeline the interviewer gave you
If the panel said candidates would hear back by Friday, allow that timeline to pass before asking for an update. If no timeline was given, one polite note after about a working week is a reasonable starting point.
Use the contact channel already established
Reply to the interview invitation when possible. Include the role and interview date so the recruiter can find your application. Avoid sending the same message to several people at the organisation.
Sample follow-up email
Subject: Follow-up on Records Assistant interview
Dear Hiring Team,
Thank you for meeting with me on 12 November about the Records Assistant position. I appreciated learning how the team handles records requests. I remain interested in the role and would be grateful for any update on the recruitment timeline.
Kind regards,
Neema Joseph
