[Interviews](https://jobicy.com/question-category/interviews.md) Asked 4 Aug 2026 Active 6 Aug 2026 [Write an answer](#answer-form-container) [Log in to vote](https://jobicy.com/enter4715.php.md) Question details After a remote screening call, the recruiter said I would receive a timed technical assessment that day, but the link has not arrived after three business days. Should I send a brief follow-up now, or wait in case their hiring process is delayed? Community responses ## 1 Answer Sort by Most likedNewest firstOldest first * EP Elijah Patel [6 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785872746-is-a-delayed-skills-test-link-a-bad-sign#answer-9522.md) Copy answer link Report answer A delayed link can sound like disinterest, but it more often reflects an administrative miss or shifting schedule. Follow up today, briefly mention the promised assessment and confirm the best email address; if they do not respond, treat that as useful information and continue other applications.
