Is the application status automatically communicated to the applicant or displayed on the career page?

This help article explains whether applicants are automatically notified of their application status and what status information they can view within the job portal itself.

No, applicants are not automatically notified of the current status of or changes to their application.

There is no automatic notification via email or other channels.

The recruiting team must actively communicate the status to the applicant (e.g., via manual messages or rejection notices within the system).


Applicant Access

Applicants can view the current status of their application in the job portal at any time.

To do so, they log in to the portal using their access credentials and open the relevant application.


Visible status updates in the job portal

The following main statuses are displayed in the job portal:

  • Application received

  • Application in progress

  • Interview

  • Offer

  • Onboarding

  • Hired

  • Rejection


Background and limitations

  • These statuses correspond to the key stages of the application process.

  • Internal intermediate steps (e.g., "Departmental pre-selection," "Internal review," "HR review") are not visible to applicants.

  • The display is intentionally simplified so that applicants can quickly and clearly see the most important information.

  • Internal details and process steps remain visible exclusively to recruiters and hiring departments.


Important Notes

  • Recruiters can decide at any time whether and when to provide additional manual updates to applicants.

  • The job portal is primarily intended for applicants to check the general status of their application themselves.

  • Transparent communication by the recruiting team remains advisable in order to improve the candidate experience.
