The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I’d never write someone off because they didn’t send me a thank-you email. Geez.
I work for a large company and do interviews. We have our own recruiting department and also use third party agencies. The candidates all talk to the recruiter both before and after the interview. Not us. The recruiter sets up the interview between both parties. So even if they sent an email we’d never know about it. Recruiters don’t forward on stuff like that back to us.
No, because the time to make a case specific to the job is during the interview. Also, interviewees rarely have my email address. I wouldn’t assume they all do.
Thank you emails on their own are kind of pointless, but it’s a crucial tool for applicant to address anything that they realize might have been missed or to clarify something they thought was important.
It’s a perfect opportunity to offer thanks and further your case for the position, but it should be relevant to the interview.
That’s definitely not a common thing, unless you’re fielding a new team or division. There is a limit though, yeah? So it could be a deciding factor even when hiring multiple positions from the same pool of candidates.
Every thank you letter I’ve sent wasn’t a thank you letter at all. I call back to specific things the interviewer said during our interview, and make it one last opportunity to pitch myself as the best candidate.

If you had two very close candidates, and one sent you a followup email making their case specific to the job, that wouldn’t sway you?

Depends. Are you hiring people to send thank you emails?
Industry dependent I know but every time I’ve had two good candidates I’ve just gone ahead and hired both
