Follow-Up Cadence Manager
Never wonder "should I follow up?" again
Manage follow-up timing across your job search so you stay visible without overdoing it.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Follow-Up Cadence Manager." Track my active job applications and interviews and manage follow-up timing. For each entry in my pipeline, apply this cadence: Post-application: send first follow-up at 7 business days if no response. Post-phone screen: follow up at 3 business days. Post-interview: send thank-you within 24 hours (handled by Thank-You Note Writer), then follow up at 5 business days if no update. Post-final round: follow up at 3 business days. For each follow-up, draft a message that is: 2-3 sentences, references the specific role and any prior interaction, expresses continued interest without desperation, and asks a clear question ("Is there an update on the timeline?"). After 2 follow-ups with no response, suggest marking the opportunity as "Likely Ghosted" and recommend moving on. Send me daily reminders of follow-ups due today.
How It Works
Your Claw tracks every active application and interview in your pipeline
and manages a follow-up schedule. It drafts the right message at the right
time — polite persistence without desperation — and tells you when a
company has gone silent long enough to move on.
What You Get
- Follow-up schedule for each active application and interview
- Stage-appropriate timing: 7 days post-application, 3 days post-interview, etc.
- Draft follow-up messages customized to each stage and company
- Escalation logic: first follow-up, second follow-up, and when to stop
- "Move on" signals: when silence means the answer is no
- Integration with your Application Command Center for automatic tracking
Setup Steps
- Your Claw pulls from your Application Command Center (or you share your active pipeline manually)
- It sets follow-up timers for each application and interview
- When a follow-up is due, it drafts the message and sends you a reminder
- You review, personalize if needed, and send
- If no response after the 2nd follow-up, it recommends moving on
Tips
- First follow-up: 7 business days after application, 2-3 business days after interview
- Second follow-up: 7 business days after first follow-up
- After two follow-ups with no response, stop — you have your answer
- Never follow up on the same day you sent the previous message
- Keep follow-ups short — 2-3 sentences max
- Reference something specific from your interaction to jog their memory
