Do you let other interviews know when you accepted a position with another company?

[Anonymous]

Say you have interviewed with companies X, Y, and Z.

Company X offers you a job. You accept.

The interview with Company Z seemed to go particularly well.

Do you let Company Z know?

Only if Z makes you an offer. If you don't hear back, let it go.

I politely withdrew a couple of applications upon accepting an offer. I would not have entertained a competing offer at that point and did not want to waste any of their time considering me. I thought it merely polite and would have left the applications outstanding if I wanted those jobs more. I'm surprised others don't do this?

Depends on how long it has been since the interview. If it's been more than two weeks and they never called you back anyway, just let it go. If it was recent, I would give them a call back and let them know you are withdrawing your application.

I haven't personally, but I've interviewed someone who later withdrew their application. I found it very helpful. He was one of my top picks and I was glad I didn't waste time considering him when he was no longer interested in the job. You never know if you'll be looking for a job again in a few years. I think withdrawing makes the best impression.

NP here but curious -- can you give an example of the wording you would use?

+1. This is what I do too. Although I will still reach out even if I haven't heard back after 2 weeks. If I haven't heard anything 3 weeks post interview then I won't bother to withdraw, but 2 weeks isn't super long to me.

I've withdrawn applications in this situation.
