Default How long until a company responds to your application.

I put in a application with Swift a couple days ago. I was wondering how long it takes for them to respond to it. I also will be submitting other application to other company's soon. Any input would be appreciated. The reason I choose swift was because a terminal is close to where I live. I also figured that they could train me.

Usually Swift will call within 24 hours. Call them and check on the status of your application.

It wouldnt hurt just to call them and speak to a recruiter. Usually those online apps just go into a recruiter database for them to call you. Then after you call, you will fill out another app on the phone.

swift called me back in april and i neevr called them back i emailed the recruiter i talked to back then,, i emailed her at 1148 am and she called at 1208. good response time.

Schneider said they wouldnt take me for another 3 years because of my one accident with 1200 bucks property damage and no injuries

I am going to go to swift or allstate or PAM (pam has 1000 dollar sign on bonus) plus they give you money to help with expenses while you there

By you making the first phone call, it shows you are interested.After all you are the one are sent them the application.They get so many applications that yours could get lost in the shuffle.If you don't contact them ,nothing is ever done.You call and they remember your application,they pull it up and hopefully hire you.Keep your name in front of them.

Just put in another application for Swift today. I did not get a call on my last one. I have no reason as to why. I have a sloid work history, no criminal record, no driving record. Everythig is solid.
