It's up to the hiring manager, who may take some input from the rest of the panel.
Agree with this! Good luck. It's definitely a nice thing to get a positive response.

I've received responses and at first I took them as positive signs. I didn't get an offer for any of the jobs. So, unfortunately, I now know they're nothing more than polite responses.

Dear XXX,

It was a pleasure! I really enjoyed your interview and I hope it works out for you, I think you have a lot to offer and it would be a pleasure working with you.

Thanks again for your interest in XXX


Is that just a generic response?

I dont want to get my hopes up so I thought I would let others weigh in.

Thanks

It is a positive sign and I was hired when my thank you letter received a response. Hopefully your thank you letter asked about the next steps in the hiring process.

Thank you, XXXXX. Best of luck to you!

I got this it was from the assistant city manager who was on the hiring committee.

Stay positive, but always keep applying for other jobs just so at least have something lined up. Don't drop everything just yet.
