Who do I write a thank-you letter to after an all-day interview?

I wonder if I've been doing this wrong all along. :-)

After an on-site job interview with multiple interviewers, who is it most appropriate to write a thank-you note to? The HR contact I've been working with, the individual interviewers, or someone else?

What's considered standard?

There is no standard for this. Beyond that, why would you want to be standard - the point of an interview is to come across as exception. Figure out each individual person, and send as many as you can remember/find/track a hand-written, mailed thank you letter.

The whole point of the post-interview thank you is to be remembered, so if your tactic isn't memorable it isn't worth doing.

personally i would draft a different email to each person and send it to them individually. i wouldn't just copy paste it either cause you never know if they are sitting beside each other when they get it!!

i think it would make a better impression if each of them receive a different thank you email.
