I applied for a role and quickly after they sent me an email basically saying we are reviewing the role and in the meantime we wanted to let you know we aren’t ignoring you and that we acknowledge your application.

They were inundated with applications and are currently getting through them all but this was a week ago. When should I follow up, I know they are busy but I was thinking if I haven’t heard anything to maybe email them in a weeks time, that gives them two weeks to get through applications.
